Figure 3. Decreased SAT expression of glycerolipid-FA metabolism genes after a 6-month hypocaloric diet intervention is predominant in IRO patients.
A–M, SAT mRNA levels of genes involved in glycerolipid-FA metabolism before and after a 6-month dietary intervention in IRO (filled box) and ISO (open circle) subjects. Results are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 6 per group, paired). Significantly different from ISO at the time point showed: a P < .05, aa P < .01, aaa P < .001; significant effect of the dietary intervention in the IRO group: b P < .05; significant effect of the dietary intervention in the ISO group: c P < .05.
