Metformin treatment of HFD animals improves hepatic insulin signaling. The figure present activatory (Tyr632, Panel A) and inhibitory (Ser270, Panel B) phosphorylation state of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1); Panel C presents a ratio phosphorylation state of Akt at Ser473 and panel D shows a FoxO1 phosphorylation state at Ser256; The impact of HFD and metformin treatment on protein content of PEPCK1 is presented in Panel E. Values are mean +/− SD. Symbols denote statistical significance of p < 0.05 versus: a- vs. Control group; *- vs. HFD group. n = 8 per group; Significance by Anova with Tukey HSD post-hoc test.
