Figure 4From: Apoptosis, mastocytosis, and diminished adipocytokine gene expression accompany reduced epididymal fat mass in long-standing diet-induced obese miceMouse mast protease-6 (mMCP6) expression in the epididymal fat. Western blot analysis of mMCP6 protein expression in the rostral and caudal epididymal fat from lean (n = 4, white bars) and diet-induced obese (n = 4, black bars) mice is shown (A-D). Correlations between mMCP6 and macrophage-specific F4/80 gene expression are also demonstrated (E-H). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.Back to article page
