Figure 6From: Time-course microarrays reveal early activation of the immune transcriptome and adipokine dysregulation leads to fibrosis in visceral adipose depots during diet-induced obesityEffect of high-fat feeding on transcription of (A) pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine genes, (B) Toll-like receptors, (C) IRF5 and (D) CD families expressed in epididymal adipose tissue of C57BL/6 J mice over 24 weeks (HFD vs. ND group). mRNA expression in epididymal adipose tissue measured by the microarray analysis. Fold changes in mRNA expression (HFD vs. ND) were displayed at each time point over 24 weeks. Data shown as means ± S.D. *p < 0.05 based on wilcoxon t-test. ND: normal diet. HFD: high-fat diet.Back to article page
