From: Inflammatory stress exacerbates ectopic lipid deposition in C57BL/6J mice
Effects of chronic systemic inflammation on the protein expression of lipogenesis and lipolysis in liver, muscle and white adipose tissue of C57BL/6J mice . Mice fed with normal chow diet (NCD), NCD plus casein injection (NCD+Casein), high fat diet (HFD) and HFD plus casein injection (HFD+Casein) were culled 18 weeks after first injection. The protein levels were determined by western blotting and β-actin served as the internal reference. (A, B, C) The protein levels of SREBP1, FAS and ACCα in liver, muscle and white adipose tissue of C57BL/6J mice. (D) The protein expression of ATGL and HSL in white adipose tissue of C57BL/6J mice. The histogram represents mean ± SD of the densitometric scans for protein bands from four experiments, normalized by comparison with β-actin, and expressed as a percentage of control. * P < 0.05 versus NCD, †P < 0.05 versus HFD.
