TG and DGAT1 levels in posterior tibial and cardiac muscle of MCK-DGAT1 mice and WT mice. (A) TG content in posterior tibial muscle of MCK-DGAT1 mice (190.05 ± 13.17 nmol/mg) was significantly higher than that of WT mice (56.36 ± 2.29 nmol/mg, P<0.01). (B) DGAT1 content in posterior tibial muscle of MCK-DGAT1 mice (0.129 ± 0.011 ng/mg) was significantly higher than that of WT mice (0.087 ± 0.002 ng/mg, P<0.01). (C) TG content in cardiac muscle of MCK-DGAT1 mice (16.21 ± 2.14 nmol/mg) was significantly higher than that of WT mice (12.00 ± 0.09 nmol/mg, P<0.01). (D) DGAT1 content in cardiac muscle of MCK-DGAT1 mice (0.091 ± 0.004 ng/mg) was significantly higher than that of WT mice (0.072 ± 0.004 ng/mg, P<0.01).
