Figure 5

Basal protein content of phospho(p) Ser473 Akt and pThr308Akt (Panel A) and pThr172 AMP-activated protein kinase alpha (Panel B) in differentiated 3 T3-L1 cells treated for 24 h with either vehicle, palmitic acid (16:0, 200 μM) or palmitoleic acid (16:1n7, 200 μM). Basal protein content of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4, Panel C) in differentiated 3 T3-L1 cells treated for 24 h with either vehicle, palmitoleic acid (16:1n7, 200 μM), Compound C (Comp. C, 20 μM) or palmitoleic acid associated with Compound C (Comp. C + 16:1n7). Results are means ± SE (n = 3-4/group). *P < 0.05 16:1n7 vs. all groups.
