Renin–angiotensin system (RAS) overexpression differentially regulates genes related to inflammation and cell stress in mice epididymal white adipose tissue (WAT). (A,B) RAS overexpression induces mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7 (Map3k7) and mitogen activated protein kinase 14 (Mapk14/p38) expression compared to wild type (Wt) mice. (C) However, RAS overexpression significantly downregulated mitogen activated protein kinase kinase 3 (Map2k3) expression in Agt Tg compared to Wt mice. (D,E) Similar to Map3k7, histone deacetylase 4 (Hdac4) and activating transcription factor 6 (Atf6) were upregulated in Agt Tg group compared wild-type (Wt) mice WAT. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 8). (** p < 0.001, * p < 0.05, # p < 0.1).
