a, b Heatmap analyses of triacylglycerol (a) and phosphatidylcholine (b) levels in eWAT at R+2. The means of GC-WT/R+2 are set to one. c, d Total triacylglycerol (c) and phosphatidylcholine (d) levels in the eWAT of WT (blue) and Nrf2 KO (red) mice. The results are presented as the fold change compared to GC-WT mice and the means ± SD. Statistical analyses were performed using ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001. eg Multivariate analysis (e) and levels of individual metabolites PC C34:2 (f) and TG (50:2) (g) to determine the relationship between lipid levels and the lipid droplet size in eWAT. Notably, the levels of PC C34:2 and TG (50:2) show very good correlations with the lipid droplet size. P values and Pearson’s correlation coefficient R (e) or R2 (f, g) values with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI) are displayed (e). The top 10 metabolites and total triacylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine levels are indicated (e).
