Elovl3 expression is up-regulated in the iWAT of VDRKO mice. A, Expression of Elovl genes in iWAT and gWAT of WT and VDRKO mice. For each Elovl gene, the expression level was normalized to iWAT of WT mice; n = 3. B, Expression of Elovl3 in iWAT, BAT, and liver. Expression levels of Elovl3 in each VDRKO tissue was normalized against WT expression in the same tissue; n = 5. Three biological replicates of age matched VDRKO and WT mice were performed at 8, 8, and 10 weeks of age. Error bars represent SEM (*, P < .05).
