From: Soluble EGFR, a hepatokine, and adipsin, an adipokine, are biomarkers correlated with distinct aspects of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes subjects

Tissue EGFR and adipsin levels in insulin-sensitive organs from db/db, ob/ob, and βGck  +/− mice. a–c Egfr mRNA expression levels in the liver, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle of db/+ and db/db mice at 30 weeks of age, control lean and ob/ob mice at 8 weeks of age, and βGck +/− and βGck +/+ mice at 8 weeks of age. d–f Cfd (adipsin) mRNA expression levels in the liver, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle of db/+ and db/db mice at 30 weeks of age, control lean and ob/ob mice at 8 weeks of age, and βGck +/− and βGck +/+ mice at 8 weeks of age. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 (n = 3–6 per group)
