(A–C) Effect of SIT on JNK, IKKβ and NFkB protein expression in adipose tissue of type-2 diabetic rats. The expressions of JNK, IKKβ and NFkB proteins were assessed by Western blotting. Β-actin was used as a loading control. Each bar represents mean ±SEM (n = 6). G1—Normal control rats, G2—diabetic rats, G3—diabetic rats treated with SIT, G4—diabetic rats treated with metformin and G5—control rats treated with β-sitosterol. Significance at p < 0.05, a significantly different from the control group and b significantly different from the diabetic control.
