Figure 6

Effects of OPE or quercetin on the mRNA expression of the INSR and GLUT 4 in skeletal muscle of HFD/STZ-induced diabetic rats. Expression levels for INSR and GLUT4 were determined by quantitative RT-PCR, normalized against β-actin, and plotted relative to those of diabetic control rats. Data are expressed as means ± SE (n = 7 for each group). Comparisons were done between the control group and each individual treated group by Dunnet's multiple comparison test. *Different from control, P < 0.05, **different from control, P < 0.01
