Fig 7. WAT gene expression in mice with inactivated Mest.

Fig 7

(A) Data shows expression of Mest, (B) Sfrp5, (C) Bmp3, (D) Nkd1, (E) Serpine1, and (F) Pparg in epididymal (eWAT) and inguinal (iWAT) white adipose tissue of wildtype (WT; n = 17) mice with a paternal inactivation of Mest (pKO; n = 10) and subgroups of WT mice with low (LM; n = 6) and high (HM; n = 6) WAT Mest expression after being fed a HFD from 8–16 weeks of age. Gene expression was determined via TaqMan qRT-PCR in total RNA from eWAT and iWAT and represented as arbitrary units (AU) normalized to cyclophilin b (Ppib). Gene expression is presented as the mean ± SEM and significance between groups was determined using two-tailed unpaired parametric t-tests. Datasets annotated with the same letter indicate no significant differences between groups.
