Abstract: Supplementary Material 1. Fig. 1. NDPKB-/- mice are glucose intolerant, but have normal insulin secretion. Statistical analysis of GTT (A) and blood insulin levels after GTT (B) in NDPKB-/- mice. (C) Statistical analysis of ITT in 8-month NDPKB-/- mice. n=7-8. Statistical analysis of the insulin secretion in islets isolated from NDPKB-/- mice (D). n=23-30. Statistical analysis of the glucagon secretion in islets isolated from NDPKB-/- mice (E). n=15-20. *p<0.05. Fig. 2. Fibronectin is expressed in vasculature. Immunofluorescence staining of fibronectin and lectin (a vascular marker) in the mouse LVs. Green: lectin, red: fibronectin. n=3. Scale bar=20µm. Fig. 3. Accumulation of collagen is evident in the LVs of NDPKB-/- mice. Sirius-red staining of whole heart (A) and statistical analysis in NDPKB-/- and WT LVs (B). n=5. ***p<0.001. Scale bar=500µm. Fig. 4. HBP-related proteins remain unchanged in CFs isolated from NDPKB¬ /- mice. Immunoblotting (A) and statistical analysis of O-GlcNAc (B), GFAT (C), ...
