A: Gonadal fat expression of genes related to mitochondrial biogenesis and thermogenesis by RT-PCR. *P < 0.05 vs. CC. mRNA abundance is normalized to expression of the housekeeping gene cyclophilin. Gene expression in the C-C group is set as 1. B: Abundance of the mitochondrial-encoded gene Cox-2 relative to the nuclear-encoded gene β-globin in gonadal fat pads. The relative proportion of Cox-2 to β-globin is proportional to the amount of mitochondrial DNA per cell. *P < 0.05. C: Abundance of the mitochondrial-encoded gene ND-1 relative to the nuclear-encoded gene β-globin in gonadal fat pads. The relative proportion of ND-1 to β-globin is proportional to the amount of mitochondrial DNA per cell. Inline graphic, C-U; ■, U-C; ▨, U-U.
