Chronic zinc supplementation did not alter the expression of lipogenic genes but decreased protein levels of FAS and SCD1 in perirenal adipose tissue. (A) The expression of Glut4; (B) The expression of lipogenic genes and their regulatory genes; (C) The expression of PLIN; (D) Protein levels of PPARγ, FAS and SCD1 (P = 0.0006 for FAS); (E) The expression of HSL; (F) Phosphorylation levels of HSL. N = 8 for each group. Data were shown as mean ± SEM. Western blots represented 8 mice of 16 in total. Con, control group; ZnSO4, zinc sulfate-supplemented group. ** P < 0.01 ZnSO4 vs. Con.
