Figure 4. The role exerted by chitosan in adipogenesis of orbital fibroblasts. A: Chitosan statistically significantly decreased the protein levels of FABP4, adiponectin, C/EBPα, and PPAR-γ in differentiated adipocyte cells as shown with western blot analysis. The role exerted by chitosan in AKT phosphorylation during the differentiation of adipose cells in orbital fibroblasts. B: Chitosan statistically significantly downregulated AKT phosphorylation of the orbital fibroblasts as shown with western blot analyses. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (SD), **p<0.01 and *p<0.05. The experiments in this figure were repeated three times, and similar results were obtained.
