Figure 4. Effect of a 6-day icv ghrelin infusion (2.5 nmol/d) on epididymal WAT mRNA expression of FAS (A ) and SCD1 (B ), as well as on epididymal WAT FAS (C ) and SCD1 (D ) protein expression, with 1 representative Western blot (of the 2 performed).

Data in C and D are presented as values normalized to calreticulin, which was used as a housekeeping gene. Values are mean ± SEM of 6–7 animals per group. *P < 0.05 versus control; ^#P < 0.05 versus ghrelin-pf.
