Hepatic tissue protein analyses: pAkt (A), GK (B), pGS (C), CLOCK (D), and Per1 (E) proteins expressed relative to total Akt (for pAkt), cyclophilin B (for GK, CLOCK, and Per1), or total GS (for pGS). Individual data are depicted by unfilled circles, with dark gray lines indicating the median for each treatment. Control (CON) samples (n = 3) were taken from the SALno-clamp dogs described in our previous publication (6); see research
design and
methods (n = 5 for GLC and n = 6 for INS). The amGLC and amINS data were derived from the two dogs in each treatment group that underwent the AM clamp and the subsequent nonclamp period, with tissue collection occurring at 360 min. Statistical analyses were done only where treatments included at least n = 3. Groups marked with different letters differed significantly (P < 0.05).
