Fig. 5. Effects of insulin and glucose on the expression level of mRNA encoding
hepatic genes. Glucokinase (GK), PK, G6Pase 1 and 2,
PEPCK, FBPase and FAS mRNA levels were estimated using real-time
RT-PCR. The experiment was conducted in 48 h-cultured hepatocytes of rainbow
trout incubated for an additional 24 h with (Insulin, filled bars) or without
(Control, hatched bars) insulin (4x10–9 mol
l–1) and in the presence of 3 or 20 mmol l–1
glucose (glc). Expression values are normalized with elongation factor
1
EF1
)-expressed transcripts and are indicated as fold variation
of 3 mmol l–1 glucose control condition. Results are
expressed as means +s.e.m. (N=6) and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA
followed by Student–Newman–Keuls multiple comparison test
(P<0.05). *Significant effect of insulin.
