Table 3. mRNA levels of genes measured in the periepididymal white adipose tissue.
Gene | Sedentary (N = 10) | Trained (N = 10) |
---|---|---|
ADD1 | 1.0 | 1.44 |
FAS | 1.0 | 2.75 |
Malic enzyme | 1.0 | 0.89 |
ALBP | 1.0 | 1.18 |
HSL | 1.0 | 1.75 |
Leptin | 1.0 | 0.64 |
Adiponectin | 1.0 | 2.53 |
Data are reported as arbitary units. ADD1 = transcription factor adipocyte determination and differentiation-dependent factor 1; FAS = fatty acid synthase; ALBP = adipocyte lipid binding protein; HSL = hormone-sensitive lipase. Data analyses were done by the comparative threshold (CT) cycle method and the levels of gene expression were given by 2−ΔΔCt, where ΔΔCT is the ΔCT (difference in threshold cycle for target and cyclophilin) value subtracted from ΔCT of the control group. The results were compared by the Student t-test (P > 0.05).
