Figure 5From: AMPK exerts dual regulatory effects on the PI3K pathway Akt Activation by AICAR is suppressed by Wortmannin. A. 3T3-F44a preadipocytes were incubated with Wortminnin (Wort, 0.5 μM, 30 min), followed by AICAR (1 mM, 4 h) or insulin (100 nM, 15 min). The cell extracts were blotted with antibodies, as indicated. B. 3T3-F44a preadipocytes were treated with Wortmannin at different doses, as indicated, for 30 min and followed by treatment with AICAR or insulin, as described for A. Cell extracts were blotted with antibodies, as indicated.Back to article page
