Trimetazidine attenuated the cardiac insulin resistance evoked by pressure overload. (A) Representative PET images showing the glucose uptake rate of mice heart, and corresponding calculated results (B,C) n = 3. (D) Glucose uptake rate of isolated adult cardiomyocytes by 2-NBDG assay, n = 3. (E) Immunofluorescence staining images labeling GLUT4 (red) and DAPI (blue) in mice heart tissue. Scale bar = 50 um. (F) Representative western blots of GLUT4 in membrane and cytoplasm in indicated groups, GAPDH was used as cytoplasm loading control and the total protein control, Na-K-ATPase was used as membrane loading control. (G,H) The protein levels of InsR, Akt and their phosphorylation states, n = 6. Graphical data are shown as mean ± SEM. Two-way ANOVA was used for analysis. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs indicated group. TAC, Transverse aortic constriction; TMZ, Trimetazidine; SUV, Standard uptake value.
