Heatmap of relative gene expression differences in adipose tissues and in the liver in response to exercise training. Relative expressions of different endocrine and cytokine factors, receptors, and transport proteins were studied in the adipose tissues and in the liver of healthy and hyperlipidemic mice using qPCR (n = 6 animals/group). The relative expression of target genes in sedentary animals was compared with the expression levels detected in the corresponding trained groups (results are given as a percentage, where the corresponding value for the sedentary groups = 100%). WT/ND: wild-type mice on normal diet; APOB/HFD, APOB-100 transgenic mice on high-fat diet; BAT, brown adipose tissue; WAT SC, subcutaneous white adipose tissue; WAT VIS, visceral white adipose tissue.
