Fig. 1. B4GalT5 expression is positively correlated with type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Fig. 1

a B4GalT5 expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue from subjects with neither obesity nor diabetes (n = 12) vs. those without obesity but with diabetes (n = 9); and from subjects with obesity but without diabetes (n = 6) vs. with both obesity and diabetes (n = 13). b Correlation analysis between BMI and B4GalT5 mRNA levels in subcutaneous adipose tissue of human (n = 52). cd qPCR analysis of B4GalT5 mRNA expression and western blotting detect B4GalT5 protein level in inguinal (subcutaneous) adipose tissue of C57BL/6 J mice fed with ND or HFD for 12 weeks (n = 14), and ob/ob mice (n = 8) and their wild-type(WT) littermates (n = 8). e B4GalT5 mRNA expression in stromal vascular fraction (SVF) or mature adipocytes fraction (AD) isolated from inguinal adipose tissue of C57BL/6 J mice fed with HFD for 12 weeks (n = 6). f The relative mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) by flow cytometric analysis of SVF and AD for B4GalT5 expression in inguinal adipose tissue of C57BL/6 J mice fed with HFD for 12 weeks (n = 6). Statistical analysis was performed by collating the results from multiple samples. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
