Figure 7 Scatter plot of mRNA expression of (A) PI3K, (B) p-Akt, (C) p-FoxO1, (D) FasL, (E) p-Stat3, and (F) IL-6 protein in the 2 groups of mice: group A (control) and group B (diabetic). (G) Expression of the mRNA of PI3K, p-Akt, p-FoxO1, FasL, p-Stat3, and IL-6 in mice testes. The light blue bar graph represents expression of the mRNA of PI3K, p-Akt, p-FoxO1, FasL, p-Stat3, and IL-6 in group A. The deep blue bar chart represents expression of the mRNA of PI3K, p-Akt, p-FoxO1, FasL, p-Stat3, and IL-6 in group B. Values are the meanĀ±SEM (n=6 animals per group). The t test was used to compare group B with group A. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01.
