Figure 2. Time course of HFD-induced changes in expression of galectin mRNA in VAT and SAT.

Figure 2

Mice were fed regular chow (Lean, squares) or HFD (DIO, triangles) for 5, 9, 13, 17 or 24 weeks. Expression of CD68 (A), CCL2 (B), Adiponectin (APN) (C), Gal-1 (D), Gal-3 (E), Gal-9 (F), and Gal-12 (G) was evaluated by qRT-PCR in VAT (black symbols) and SAT (open symbols). Data are reported as gene expression relative to Lean VAT at 5 weeks using the ΔΔct method. Data are mean +/−SEM of 5–10 mice per group. ap<0.01 vs respective tissue in lean mice at same time point; bp<0.01 vs respective tissue at 5 weeks;, cp<0.01 vs respective SAT at same time point;; dp<0.01 vs respective tissue at 13–17 weeks.
