mRNA levels of ATGL, HSL, MGL, and ACC2 were significantly lower in Kager’s fat pad of AT patients (n = 30) compared to healthy CON subjects (n = 13, except ATGL and HSL: n = 12), while the mRNA expression of CACT and CPT2 was significantly elevated. The expression of target gene mRNA was normalized to the expression of TBP mRNA. Normalized mRNA expression for the control subjects was set to 1. * p < 0.05 (compared to CON). ATGL, adipose triglyceride lipase; HSL, hormone-sensitive lipase; MGL, monoacylglycerol lipase; ACC2, acetyl-CoA carboxylase 2; AT, Achilles tendinopathy; CON, control; CACT, carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase; CPT2, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2; TBP, TATA-binding protein.
