Increased adiponectin and reduced inflammatory gene expression in adipose tissue of DNT5 mice. All data were from quantitative real-time PCR analysis of epididymal fat pad RNA after mice had been provided with western-style diet and DOX for 12 weeks. All mice were ApoE−/−. (A) Comparison of adiponectin (AdipoQ) and leptin (Lep) mRNA abundance between Controls and DNT5. On the left, Mann-Whitney analysis showing mean and s.e.m (N = 10 Control, N = 14 DNT5). On the right, linear random effects model analysis showing the standardised mean difference and confidence intervals (n/N = 8/10 Control, n/N = 8/14 DNT5). Data above the zero line indicate increase in the DNT5 group. (B) Comparison of the inflammatory mediators tumour necrosis factor α (Tnfα), interleukin 6 (Il6), interleukin 1β (Il1β) and C-C motif chemokine ligands 2, 3, 5 and 7 (Ccl2, 3, 5 and 7) mRNA abundance between Controls and DNT5. On the left, Mann-Whitney analysis showing mean and s.e.m (N = 10 Control, N = 14 DNT5). On the right, linear random effects model analysis showing the standardised mean difference and confidence intervals. Data below the zero line indicate decrease in the DNT5 group (n/N = 8/10 Control, n/N = 8/14 DNT5).
