Expression of genes associated with fatty acid (FA) metabolism in hearts. A, Relative mRNA expression of genes associated with FA metabolism in the hearts of wild-type (WT) and fatty acid binding protein 4/5 (Fabp4/5) double-knockout (DKO) mice with or without a 24-hour fast. The level of each transcript is determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (n=6). Data are shown as the mean±SD. *P<0.05. B, Triacylglycerol (TG) content in the hearts of WT and Fabp4/5 DKO mice with or without a 24-hour fast (n=5; *P<0.05). C, TG droplet is detected by oil red O stain in the hearts of WT and DKO mice with or without fasting. Scale bar, 100 μm.
