Analysis of lipid metabolism in ACE2-overexpressing C2C12 cells and Ad-ACE2-treated db/db mice. a: Relative ACE2 expression level in ACE2-overexpressing C2C12 cells. b: Relative gene expression levels of fatty acid oxidation-related genes (PGC-1α, PPARα, PPARγ, CPT-1α, and MCAD). c: Relative ACE2 expression level in skeletal muscle of Ad-ACE2-treated db/db mice. d: Analysis of intramuscular triglyceride concentration in skeletal muscle of Ad-ACE2-treated db/db mice. e: Relative gene expression levels of fatty acid oxidation-related genes (PGC-1α, PPARα, PPARγ, CPT-1α, and MCAD). f: Relative protein levels of lipid-metabolizing (SREBP-1c and ACCα). The data are presented as the mean ± SD of n = 3 independent experiments in C2C12 cells, n = 3 in Ad-ACE2-treated db/db mice. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 versus Ad-GFP cell or Ad-GFP-treated mice by Student’s t test
