Expression of the PI3K/Akt pathway in the colons of rats (\(\bar x \pm \mathrm{SE}\), n = 6). A: Protein expression levels related to the PI3K/Akt pathway, (1)-(6)quantifications for PI3K, Akt, Bax, Bcl-2, IL-6, and IL-10; (7) a diagram depicting protein expression bands. B: mRNA expression levels associated with the PI3K/Akt pathway, (1)-(6)quantifications for PI3K, Akt, Bax, Bcl-2, IL-6, and IL-10. Con is the control group, T2DM is the model group, EA is the intervetion group, and EA + LY294002 is the intervention + PI3K inhibitor group. Compared to the Con group, **P<0.01, *P<0.05; compared to the T2DM group,##P<0.01, #P<0.05; compared to the EA group, △△P<0.01, △P<0.05
