Expression of adipocyte-related genes

Gene	Control	CETP+
SREBF1	1.08 ± 0.05	0.97 ± 0.29
PNPLA2	1.06 ± 0.04	0.91 ± 0.06
SCL2A4	1.16 ± 0.08	0.53 ± 0.34a
FABP4	1.01 ± 0.24	0.40 ± 0.15a
APOE	1.00 ± 0.05	0.89 ± 0.21
FASN	1.13 ± 0.10	2.12 ± 1.10

The expression of the indicated genes was determined by qPCR. Data are the mean ± SD (n = 2–3 separate cell cultures). FABP4, fatty acid binding protein 4; PNPLA2, adipocyte triglyceride lipase; SCL2A4, glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4); SREBF1, sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1.
