Hepatic insulin signaling at the end of experiment. The liver of Px rats injected with 5 U insulin/kg body weight into the inferior vena cava was collected after they were fed with diets containing 10% cooked soybeans (CSB), meju made with traditional (TMS) or standardized (MMS) manner, or casein (control) for 8 weeks. The glycogen and triglyceride contents in the liver were measured (A). In addition, the phosphorylation of Akt and AMPK and the expression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PECK) were measured by immunoblotting method (B). The sample size in each group was 4. a,b Means of the bars without a common letter significantly differ at P < 0.05 by Tukey test.
