Effects of extracellular S100A4 on the expression of Akt in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Insulin signaling was quantified by phosphorylation of the downstream effector Akt. a S100A4 (1 ug/ml) treatment for 4 h activated the Akt signaling pathway in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. b Quantification of relative phospho-Akt by Image J. c qPCR analysis of lipogenic gene expression in 3T3-L1 cells. d Relative mRNA expression of inflammatory genes in 3T3-L1 cells. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
