Figure 1. qPCR analysis demonstrated different pattern of adipokines mRNA expression levels in the WAT of rabbits aerosol infected with HN878 (active TB) and CDC1551 (latent TB).

Figure 1

The fold changes in the mRNA levels were calculated after comparing to control rabbits and normalizing to housekeeping HPRT mRNA levels (n=4, 12 weeks post infection). (A) Fold change in the levels of adiponectin and PPARγ. (B) Fold change in the levels of adipocytokines TNFα, IL-6 and IL-10.

Significance represent mean values of the data with Standard Error of the mean (SEM) as vertical lines. (The error bars represent standard error of the mean. ** p ≤ 0.01 or *** p ≤ 0.001 compared to uninfected rabbits; ##p ≤ 0.01 or ###p ≤ 0.001 compared to HN878 infected rabbits).
