Fig 4. T. cruzi infection and fat ablation alter adipogenesis and lipolysis in adipose tissue during chronic stage in the infected mice.

A. Immunoblot analyses of (A) adipogenic markers (adiponectin, FABP4 and PPAR) and (B) lipid degradation markers such as lipases (ATGL, HSL and p-HSL), loss of lipid droplets (p-perilipin) and lipid oxidation (PPARα) in adipose tissue of indicated mice (infected or uninfected mice, fat-ablated (Fab +) or fat-unablated (Fab-) n = 8). The change in protein levels were normalized to the levels of Guanosine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (GDI) and plotted column scatter graph. The error bars represent SEM. A.U. indicates arbitrary unit. *p≤0.05, **p≤0.01 or ***p≤0.001 compared with uninfected fat-unablated. #p≤0.05, ##p≤0.01 or ###p≤0.001 compared with infected fat-unablated.
