FIGURE 5.

Gene expression levels of selected marker across Peritoneal, Intramuscular and BAT. The relative gene expression level of Cidea (a, g, m), UCP1 (b,h,n), Perilipin (c,i,o), HSL (d,j,p) and TFAM (e, k, q) across Peritoneal, Intramuscular, and BAT respectively. Error bars represent ± standard error of mean (n = 6–7). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 relative to Lean and ^p < 0.05, ^^p < 0.01, ^^^p < 0.001 relative to STZ. Heatmaps for (f) peritoneal, (l) intramuscular and (q) BAT were generated using the shiny heatmap software. Light (white) block represents a low value while a dark box (black) represents a high value
