Genetic ablation of adipocyte ATGL improves insulin sensitivity during HS (a) glucose, (b) glycerol, and (c) NEFA levels in serum from WTfl/fl and FATA−/− mice fasted 4 h then subjected to sham or HS. After 30 min of sham or HS, WTfl/fl or FATA−/− mice were injected with saline or 0.5 U insulin in the inferior vena cava, and tissues were harvested after 4 min. Representative immunoblots and quantitation for (d) white adipose tissue (WAT, epididymal), (e) liver, and (f) skeletal muscle (SKM, gastrocnemius). N = 3–12. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001, as indicated. For (ac), statistical analyses were performed using two-way ANOVA. For (df), image quantitations were normalized by setting largest value in each immunoblot to 100. Statistical analyses on relative values were performed using three-way ANOVA. All comparisons differing by one variable were made and adjusted for with ANOVA, and all significant comparisons are denoted as such.
