Fig. 3From: Obesogenic and diabetic effects of CD44 in mice are sexually dimorphic and dependent on genetic backgroundWhite 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 ANOVABack to article page
