Effects of EXE and Lira on AMPK and AKT phosphorylation in differentiated L6 cells. After 20 min- and 48 h incubation with EXE and Lira, both at 100 nmol/l, levels of Thr172 (a) and Ser 473 (b) phosphorylation were measured. 2DG-uptake (c) was measured in L6 myotubes treated for 30 min with 100 nmol/l INS and 100 nmol/l EXE and Lira for 20 min and 48 h. Each bar represents the mean ± SD of three independent experiments as shown. (*p < 0.01 and **p < 0.02 vs. control)
