Fig. 6From: Obesogenic and diabetic effects of CD44 in mice are sexually dimorphic and dependent on genetic backgroundHepatic lipid accumulation. Following 12 weeks on diet, wild-type (B6 and C3H) and CD44-deficient (CD44.B6 and CD44.C3H) mice were euthanized and liver tissue was collected. Hepatic TG was measured in males (A) and females (B). Hepatic mRNA was isolated and expression of genes involved in inflammation in males (C) and females (D) are represented with mRNA levels normalized to B6 mice. Data are mean ± SE (n = 12–15). Bars labeled with different letters are P < 0.05 by ANOVABack to article page
