“…Proteins were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE, and transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Bio-Rad Laboratories, CA) [ 28 ]. After blocking for 2 h at room temperature, the membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies against iNOS, IL-1β, COX-2, IKKα, IKKβ, p-IKKα/β, IκBα, p-IκBα, NF-κB p65, p-NF-κB p65, p38, p-p38, ERK, p-ERK, JNK, p-JNK, AKT, p-AKT, mTOR, p-mTOR, PPARγ, FAS, AMPKα, p-AMPKα, FoxO1, and p-FoxO1 (Cell Signaling Technology, USA), SREBP1 (Novus Biologicals, Canada) and β-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA) which were diluted using manufacturers’ recommendations [ 25 , 29 ]. The membranes were then washed in 1× TBST and incubated with the appropriate secondary antibody HRP-conjugated (1:5000) at room temperature for 1 h. Protein bands were visualized using the Sensi-Q 2000 (Lugen, South Korea).…”
