Fig. 3From: Antagonistic interaction between Nodal and insulin modulates pancreatic β-cell proliferation and survivalInsulin decreased Nodal-induced INS-1 cells apoptosis. INS-1 cells were cultured in serum free medium and treated with medium alone (Control) or with 1 μg/ml Nodal for 24 h (with or without 100 nM insulin). a: Cell lysates were subjected to western blot analysis using relevant antibodies as indicated. b: Bar graphs represent densitometry analysis, data were normalized to control and expressed as mean ± SE. n = 3. **, p < 0.01Back to article page
