Effects of Fgf15 deficiency on lipid-related gene expression in liver and BAT with SGx. (A) Relative mRNA levels of genes associated with lipid homeostasis; (B) relative mRNA levels of genes in BAT associated with adiposity and thermogenesis; (C) DCA and TDCA levels in the serum in both WT and Fgf15 ile−/− mice at preop state, 1, 2, and 3-month HFD-fed mice following SGx (n=4, 4, 6, 4 for WT, respectively; n=5, 6, 6, 8 for Fgf15 ile−/−, respectively). $ is for statistical significance (p < 0.05) within the same genotype compared to preop control. # is for statistical significance (p < 0.05) within the same time point. Abbreviations: DCA, deoxycholic acid; HFD, high-fat diet; SGx, vertical sleeve gastrectomy; TDCA, taurine-conjugated DCA; WT, wild type.
