Figure 4. TBE inhibited the IKKβ phosphorylation in mice skeletal muscle tissue under insulin-resistant conditions. Mice were treated by gavage with TBE concentrations of 100, 200 and 500 mg/kg or metformin (200 mg/kg). After 30 min, mice were intraperitoneally injected with Mac-CM (0.1 mL/10g, diluted with saline, 1:1, v/v). For another 30 min, muscle tissue was separated and homogenized for analyzing IKKβ phosphorylation by Western blot. Metformin was taken as a positive control. The results were expressed as the mean ± S.D (n = 3). *p < 0.05, compare to control
