Caveolin expression and phosphorylation in retroperitoneal adipocytes. C: control diet fed animals. HF: high-fat diet fed animals. F: Fasted animals. NF: Non fasted animals. (A) mRNA levels. Data are means ± SEM of the ratio between each gene and GAPDH expression and are referred to gene expression in control-diet fed, fasted group (C-F = 100). (B) Protein levels. Data are means ± SEM of the ratio between each caveolin and actin and are referred to expression in control-diet fed, fasted group (C-F = 100). (C) Phosphorylation levels. Data are means ± SEM of the ratio between each phosphoprotein and total caveolin and are referred to phosphorylation level in control-diet fed, fasted group (C-F = 100). Groups (F vs NF) were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test: *p < 0.05.
