Effects of knocking out the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) on expression of the AhR (A), intracellular triglyceride accumulation (B), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion by mature adipocytes. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were transfected with siRNA for the AhR, and cells were cultivated in differentiating medium to obtain mature adipocytes. Expression of the AhR by mature adipocytes was determined by a Western blot analysis. Intracellular triglyceride (TG) contents and VEGF released into the medium were analyzed by commercial assay kits. Pictures are representative of three independent experiments. Values are the mean ± SD from three measurements. Data with different letters significantly differ (p < 0.05).
