Effect of PTX3 deficiency on LPS-induced adipose tissue inflammation. The expression of inflammatory genes in epididymal (a) and inguinal adipose tissue (b) from male and female mice treated with LPS for 6 h. The expression of genes involved in adiogenesis in perigonadal (c) and inguinal (d) adipose tissue from female mice upon 6 h of LPS treatment. n = 6 per group. The values were mean ± SEM for gene expression. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. WT; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 vs. control. WT: wild-type; KO: knockout
