Figure 4. Mitochondrial content and respiration are not altered in epididymal adipose tissue from IL-6−/− mice fed a HFD.

Figure 4

A) Mitochondrial marker proteins, B) mtDNA content and C) mitochondrial respiration are similar between genotypes. Data are presented as means + SE for 8–10 animals per group. Western blot images are given above the quantified data in A. Relative mtDNA content is normalized to genomic MCT1 (monocarboxylate transporter 1) DNA content and expressed as fold differences compared to the WT group in B. Mitochondrial respiration was measured by high-resolution O2 consumption. GM (glutamate, malate), GMD (glutamate, malate, ADP), GMDPS (glutamate, malate, ADP, pyruvate, succinate).
