From: Oxytocin reduces adipose tissue inflammation in obese mice
Obesity modulates OXTR expression in epididymal fat in lean and obese mice. OXTR mRNA expression relative to a control gene, 18S rRNA (Panel a, n = 9 per group; p < 0.05 comparing lean and db/db mice), Panels b and c; Distribution of Oxtr and adiponectin (Adipoq) mRNA, expression in total tissue, adipocyte fraction and stromal vascular fraction (SVF). Data were expressed relative to mRNA level in the total tissue for each respective group (n = 4 for lean, n = 4 for db/db). Oxtr and Adipoq expression were significantly greater in in the adipocyte fraction compared to the SVF fraction (both p < 0.05). Western Blot of OXTR from adipose tissue membrane fractions (Panel d). Molecular weight in kilodaltons (kDa) is indicated on the left. Densitometric quantification of OXTR protein for 67 and 43 kDa bands (Panel e)
Data were expressed as mean ± SEM. * indicates p < 0.05.
