Chronic vglycin treatment dramatically alters the expression of critical factors implicated in β-cell proliferation and preservation.
Pancreatic tissues were isolated from two randomly selected mice from each group. Western blot assays of the pancreatic tissues were performed using the indicated antibodies. The western blot data represent 5–6 mice per group. Critical factors that are closely related to the progression of proliferation of β-cells (A). Key factors that are closely associated with the characterization and maturation of β-cells (B). Western blots of cleaved caspase-3 and GAPDH in the pancreatic tissues (C). The data are representative of three independent experiments.
