Activation of IKKβ in cardiomyocytes induces IR. (a) Representative Western blots and densitometric analyses of phospho-IRS-1ser318/total IRS-1 in heart lysates. Scatter dot plots represent the mean ± SD, *P < 0.05 (t-test, n = 4 control, n = 4 KA). (b) Representative Western blots and densitometric analyses of total Glut4/GAPDH in whole heart lysate. Scatter dot plots represent the mean ± SD, *P < 0.05 (t-test, n = 4 control, n = 4 KA). (c) Representative Western blots and densitometric analyses of plasma membrane fraction of Glut4/Na-K-ATPase (relative to control) in heart tissue from control and KA mice at the age of six weeks. Scatter dot plots represent the mean ± SD, *P < 0.05 (t-test, n = 6 control, n = 6 KA). (d) Results of fasting blood glucose (FBG) measurements after 16 hours of fasting at the age of six weeks. Scatter dot plots represent the mean ± SD, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 (t-test, n = 16 control, n = 17 KA). (e) Results of plasma insulin measurements after 16 hours of fasting at the age of six weeks. Scatter dot plots represent the mean ± SD, *P < 0.05 (t-test, n = 16 control, n = 16 KA). (f) HOMA-IR results (FBG × plasma insulin/40). Scatter dot plots represent the mean ± SD, *P < 0.05 (t-test, n = 16 control, n = 16 KA). Scatter dot plots represent the mean ± SD, *P < 0.01 (t-test, n = 6 control, n = 6 KA). KA: kinase-active IKKβ; SD: standard deviation; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; IRS-1: insulin receptor substrate-1.
