Fig 9. Effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on differentiation-, lipolysis- and thermogenesis-related genes in white adipose tissue (WAT).

(A) Real-time PCR experiments in subcutaneous WAT (sWAT). (B) Real-time PCR experiments in epididymal WAT (eWAT). Values given are mean ± SE for 4–8 mice. ^aP < 0.05 or ^aaP < 0.01, vs. mice fed normal chow diet (NC-Con). ^bP < 0.05 or ^bbP < 0.01, vs. mice fed normal chow diet plus EPO (NC-EPO). ^cP < 0.05 or ^ccP < 0.01, vs. mice fed high-fat diet alone (HFD-Con).
