Figure 1.
Transcriptional activity of transcription factor EB (TFEB) in white adipose tissue (WAT). (A) Western blot analysis of TFEB in the nucleus and cytoplasm of WAT of control cows (n = 15) and dairy cows with subclinical ketosis (SCK; n = 15). Representative blots are shown. (B,C) Quantification of protein abundance of nuclear and cytoplasmic TFEB, respectively. (D) Western blot analysis of phosphorylated TFEB (p-TFEB) and total TFEB in WAT of control cows (n = 15) and dairy cows with SCK (n = 15). Representative blots are shown. (E,F) Quantification of ratio of p-TFEB/TFEB and protein abundance of TFEB, respectively. (G,H) Relative mRNA abundance of TFEB and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PPARGC1A) in WAT of control cows (n = 15) and dairy cows with SCK (n = 15). Data were analyzed using unpaired t-tests and expressed as mean ± SEM.
