The mRNA level for subunits of NADPH oxidase complex is enhanced in adipose tissue of mice infected by T. cruzi. Adipose tissue (a BAT and b WAT) samples from normal and infected mice were harvested at acute and chronic stages of infection and disease development, and total RNA isolated as discussed in “Materials and methods”. A quantitative real-time PCR was performed to evaluate the mRNA levels of selected genes. Transcript levels were normalized against 18S rRNA, and derived from at least four mice per group. Data are presented as fold change (*p<0.05, normal vs. infected; SD<12 %)
