Figure 4. HFD changes peroxidase levels in the adipose tissue of T. cruzi infected mice.

Figure 4

qPCR analysis of MPO gene showed that it was significantly increased (4-fold) in the WAT and significantly decreased (2.5-fold) in the BAT of infected mice fed on a HFD compared to RD (Figure 4A,4B). HFD significantly down regulated the expression of Lpo in both the WAT (Figure 4C) and BAT (Figure 4D) during acute infection in mice compared to feeding with RD. Epx significantly decreased in both the WAT (Figure 4E) and BAT (Figure 4F) (40- and 3-fold, respectively) of the T. cruzi infected mice fed on a HFD compared to RD. Bars represent mean values of the data with Standard Error of the mean (SEM) as vertical lines. RD - regular diet; HFD-high fat diet.
