Microglial mitochondria signaling during DIO. Relative gene expression of mitochondria bioenergetics genes Cox4 (A), Atp5b (B), and Pdk4 (C), as well as mitochondria dynamics gene Fis1 (D), Drp1 (E), Mfn2 (F), and Opa1 (G) in HFD-fed rats (red) compared to Chow-fed controls (black) evaluated at six time points, starting at ZT2. Data are presented as means ± SEM. Statistical significance was determined using Two-way ANOVA effect for Interaction, Diet, and Time (ZT); Student t-test is used for diet effect within a separate time point (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01). Scale (bottom right) represents light (ZT0-12) and dark (ZT12-24) phase.
