(A) The nuclear fraction from adipocytes cultured in 5 or 25 mM glucose
demonstrates elevated nuclear CHOP levels during glucotoxicity. (B) Serum free
conditioned medium was collected from adipocytes matured in normal or high
glucose +/− 5 mM NAC and IL-13 levels were quantified (n=3/group, mean
+/− SEM, *p< 0.05). (C) Confirmation of elevated CHOP protein
levels in adipose tissue of 15 week old db/db (n=3 representative), in which
IL-13 was quantified in (D) adipose tissue, p=0.004** and (E) serum, n=5
controls, n=6 db/db mice per group for the IL-13 quantification, normalized to
protein levels.
