Effects of lactoferrin (LTF) knockdown (KD) on LTF, adipogenic (ADIPOQ, ACACA, SCD1), insulin-related (IRS1, GLUT4) and inflammatory (IL6, TNFA, IL8) gene expression during human subcutaneous and visceral adipocyte differentiation at day 14. *P < 0.05 in comparison with scrambled or control differentiated adipocytes. **P < 0.005 in comparison with scrambled or control differentiated adipocytes. Statistical analysis was performed with Mann–Whitney U and Wilcoxon's tests. These data are expressed as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments.
