White adipose weight and gene expression. Fat depot weights from gonadal epididymal fat pads (A) and subcutaneous inguinal fat (B) from wild-type (B6 and C3H) and CD44-deficient (CD44.B6 and CD44.C3H) mice fed a high fat, high sucrose, high cholesterol diet for 12 weeks. mRNA was isolated from epididymal white adipose tissue, and the expression of inflammation-related genes (C, E) and macrophage-related genes (D, F) are presented with mRNA levels normalized to B6 male for both males (C, D) and females (E, F). Data are mean ± SE (n = 12–15). Bars labeled with different letters are P < 0.05 by ANOVA
