Fig. 1From: Transcriptomic profiling of adipose tissue inflammation, remodeling, and lipid metabolism in periparturient dairy cows (Bos taurus)Lipolysis increases postpartum and reduces adipose mass and adipocyte size. Blood and adipose tissue samples were collected from Holstein cows (n = 12) at 11 ± 3.6 d before calving date (PreP) and at 6 ± 1d (PP1) and 13 ± 1.4d (PP2) after parturition. a Body weight; b Body condition score (BCS); c Frequency of adipocyte sizes in subcutaneous adipose tissues; d Circulating free fatty acids (NEFA); e circulating beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB); f Blood glucose and g Insulin. Data are means ± SEM or * median ± SEM. Significant differences are indicated by * and letters a, b, c (P < 0.05)Back to article page
