A. Lysates of indicated mouse tissues were subjected to immunoblot
analysis using an antibody directed against VWA8a, with tubulin as a loading
control. B. Livers from six C57BL/6J mice fed a low fat diet for 10
weeks (L), and six C57BL/6J mice fed a high fat diet were homogenized, and
lysates were subjected to immunoblot analysis with anti-VWA8a antibody or
β-actin (control). C. Total mRNA from the same two groups
(LFD, low fat diet; HFD, high fat diet) of 6 mice each was subjected to Q-rtPCR
analysis of mRNA for VWA8a and VWA8b. Values for individual mRNA levels were
expressed relative to the average for the low fat diet group (*P<0.05
vs. 10% LFD).
