Figure 7
Figure 7 Confocal micrographs showing the distribution of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor. The smooth muscle cells were labelled with α-SMA (green), IGF-1R (red) and DAPI (blue). IGF-1R expression was high in the control group (A). Weak IGF-1R signals were found in the DM group (B), and similar changes appeared in the SGES group (diabetic with sham GES) (C). Strong IGF-IR signals were captured in the DM (diabetic group) + GES1 (GES parameter 1) group (D), DM + GES2 group (E) and DM + GES3 group (F). Scale bars = 100 μm. DM: and GES parameter 1. GES: Gastric electrical stimulation; IGF: Insulin-like growth factor.
