Inflammatory cytokines and related molecules in the white adipose tissue of WT and P2Y₂ KO mice fed high-fat diet. Real-time RT-PCR approach was used to determine the expression of inflammatory cytokines and related molecules relative to the mRNA expression of β-actin in the white adipose tissue of HFD fed WT and P2Y₂ KO mice. N = 7 mouse samples per group for each parameter. Statistics shown are by direct comparison of the two groups by unpaired t-test. TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-alpha), MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), CCR2 (C-C chemokine receptor type-2), CD68 (cluster of differentiation 68), and F4/80 (EGF-like module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor-like 1)
