Expression of genes involved in lipid flux in aorta. Aortic arch was isolated from trained (n = 7) and sedentary (n = 6) C57BL/6N wild type mice immediately (0 h - panel a ) and 48 h (panel b) after the last exercise session. Gene expression was determined by quantitative real-time PCR. Using reverse transcriptase, cDNA was synthetized from 100 ng from total RNA isolated from aortic arch of trained (black bars) and sedentary (white bars). The TaqMan gene expression assays used were: Cd36 - Mm01135198_m1, Olr1 Mm00454586_m1, Scarb1 - Mm00450234_m1, Pparg - Mm01184322_m1, Nr1h3 Mm01329744_g1, Nr1h2 - Mm00437265_g1, Abca1 - Mm00442646_m1, Abcg1 Mm00437390_m1 and quantification was normalized to the endogenous Gapdh (Mm99999915_g1). Real-time PCR was performed using Gene Expression Master Mix (Applied Biosystems). Data analysis was performed using 2-ΔΔCt method. Data are expressed as mean values ± standard error
