Figure 3. 7. Inhibiting IKK complex formation <strong>by</strong> NEMO-binding peptide (BP) blocks CLA’s suppression of<br />

Glut4 and PPARγ protein levels. Differentiated cultures of human adipocytes were serum-starved for 20 h<br />

and pretreated with 100 ug/ml NEMO BP for 1 h. Subsequently, cultures were treated with BSA vehicle or 30<br />

µM trans-10, cis-12 CLA (CLA) for 24 h. Cellular fractions containing nuclei and membranes were collected<br />

and immunoblotted for the Glut4, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), and caveolin-1.<br />

Data shown are representative of three independent experiments using a pool of cells obtained from three to<br />

four different human subjects. Blots were quantified <strong>by</strong> densitometry and the amounts of Glut4 and PPARγ<br />

relative to Cav-1 were expressed as bar graphs under the blot.<br />
