Effects of MSCs, PIO and their combination on mediators of cardiac glucose and fatty acid uptake and metabolism of diabetic rats. Cardiac mRNA levels of IRS-1, GLUT4, PPARα, PGC-1, CPT1a and SREBP-1c. All the experiments were repeated in 2 times and all data are presented as Mean ± SEM (n = 3 animals per group). *P < 0.05 vs. control; a P < 0.05 vs. diabetic group; b P < 0.05 vs. Diabetic + MSCs group; c P < 0.05 vs. Diabetic + PIO group.
