Figure 2From: Evaluation of intracellular signalling pathways in response to insulin-like growth factor I in apoptotic-resistant activated human hepatic stellate cellsActivity of Akt measured by labelled phosphorylation of the exogenous histone 2B. Autoradiography shows that insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) induced an increase in Akt activity (lane 4) when compared with the control and this effect was reversed by pre-incubation (30 minutes) with LY294002 (lane 5). DES-(1–3) IGF-I (lane 6) is an analogue of IGF-I that binds to the receptor but does not bind to the IGF-binding proteins.Back to article page
