Figure 3. Adiponectin regulates hepatic adiponectin receptor and metabolic gene expression.

A: RNA isolated from liver samples were analyzed for adiponectin receptor and metabolic target genes by QRT-PCR and the expression was normalized to GAPDH (*p<0.05 vs. HF, **p<0.05 vs HF/Ang/AdGFP, ANOVA, Newman-Keuls, n = 5/group). B: Western blot analyses of hepatic expression of apolipoproteins, ApoA₁, ApoB₁₀₀ and ApoB₄₈. Representative Western blots were shown from the analyses performed using protein extracts derived from livers of AdGFP and AdAPN mice.
