Figure 1.

Insulin receptor protein expression levels on skeletal muscle cells after different doses of magnesium supplement treatment. SABC immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was performed on rat quadriceps femoris, and the insulin receptor protein was stained in brown particles. (A) Mean optical density (MOD) values were calculated for each group using Image-Pro Plus software. NC, normal control. DM, diabetic control. Mg, magnesium supplement. (B) Representative IHC pictures from DM group, and DM supplement with 2 g/kg magnesium group. *P<0.05
