FIG. 10.
Adiponectin and AdipoRs expression in the nongenetic mouse model. (A) Blood adiponectin levels were significantly higher in Tg mice than in WT mice after being fed the HFrD for 8 weeks and injected with STZ (HFrD+STZ, n=10 mice per group). (B) Real-time RT-PCR showed that hepatic AdipoR1 expression was significantly greater in Tg mice than in WT mice, whereas AdipoR2 was not significantly different (HFrD+STZ, n=10 mice per group). Values are means±SE and were normalized for 18S rRNA expression (real-time RT-PCR). *p<0.05. AdipoR, adiponectin receptor.
