Effects of imidacloprid on AMPKα pathway and TNFα expression in white adipose tissue. Mice were fed with low or high fat diet supplemented with imidacloprid (0, 0.06, 0.6, and 6 mg/kg bw/day) for 12 weeks. (A) CaMKKβ, Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase β; (B) pAMPKα/AMPKα, phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase-α/AMP-activated protein kinase-α; (C) pACC/ACC, phosphorylated acetyl-CoA carboxylase/acetyl-CoA carboxylase; (D) representative pictures; (E) TNFα, tumor necrosis factor α. Numbers represent mean ± SE (n = 4–6). Means with different letters are significantly different at P < 0.05.
