Effects of Atorvastatin and Diacerein treatment on insulin signaling in the CLP rat. Insulin-induced protein expression of Akt serine phosphorylation with Atorvatatin or Diacerein treatment (a-d upper panels). a- Atorvastatin/Liver; b- Atorvastatin/Muscle; c- Diacerein /Liver and d- Diacerein/Muscle. In this case, blots quantification were normalized with total AKT protein expression (a-d, lower panels). The amount of protein loaded was 30 μg. Data are presented as means +/− SEM from 6 rats per group. *P < 0.05 (Sepsis/Sal vs. all others groups). IB, immunoblotting; p, phosphorylated
