Alterations in the total amount or phosphorylation state of proteins related to lipid metabolism in eWAT from sepsis-recovery and pair-fed control mice. A: representative Western blots for selected proteins regulating lipid metabolism between control and sepsis-recovery mice. For peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ, the antibody recognizes both PPAR-γ1 and PPAR-γ2. B: values in the bar graph represent means ± SE for Western blot data from all sepsis-recovery (n = 17) and pair-fed control (n = 10) mice. Quantitation of total and/or phosphorylated proteins is normalized to the total amount of the respective protein or tubulin. ATGL, adipose tissue triglyceride lipase; HSL, hormone-sensitive lipase; UCP, uncoupling protein; C/EBP, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein. *P < 0.05 compared with pair-fed controls for the same protein.
