Obesity resistant mechanisms in the Lean polygenic mouse model as indicated by liver transcriptome and expression of selected genes in skeletal muscle

Table 2 Differential gene expression in skeletal muscle between the Lean and Fat mice

SKELETAL MUSCLE (gene name)	Gene symbol	log₂ ratio (qRT-PCR)*	L:F**
Interleukin-6	Il6	0.71*	↑
Deiodinase iodothyronine type II	Dio2	-0.5*	↓

*P < 0.05
**Up arrow indicates increased mRNA expression in the Lean (L) line and down arrow decreased expression in the Lean line compared to the Fat (F) line
