Schematic diagram summarizing adipose tissue alterations in rats undergoing 2-cycles of chemotherapy. Expression of many proteins within adipose tissue are altered in response to chemotherapy, which are mainly related to mitochondrial function. Mitochondrial dysfunction associates with decreased expression of proteins involved in ATP generation, fatty acid β-oxidation, Krebs cycle and acetyl-CoA production inside mitochondria. There was also a reduction in the expression of proteins in other metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, pentose phosphate, lipogenesis as well as decreased glucose uptake. Red arrows indicates reduced expression of proteins.
