Figure 1From: Twist 1 regulates the expression of PPARγ during hormone-induced 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation: a possible role in obesity and associated diseasesDevelopment and verification of diet-induced obesity models in C57/BL6 mice and Wistar rats. (A) Change in the body weight of C57/BL6 mice during the development of the obesity model. (B) Serum CHOL, TG, and GLU levels of C57/BL6 mice were assayed. CHOL and GLU were obviously increased in obese mice compared to the control group (The data are presented as the mean ± SE. *P < 0.05, control vs. high-fat diet group). (C) Change in the body weight of Wistar rats during the development of the obesity model. (D) Serum CHOL, TG, and GLU levels of Wistar rats were assayed. CHOL and GLU were obviously increased in obese mice compared to the control (*P < 0.05, control vs. high-fat diet group).Back to article page
