Midkine, a potential link between obesity and insulin resistance.

We investigated the effects of vitamin E supplementation on body weight, gene and protein expression of TLR4, TNF- and antioxidant enzymes in epididymal adipose tissue

As expected, serum IgE levels significantly increased following OVA sensitization and challenge in both the CC10 controls and the transgene ++ group when compared to littermate

Increased adipose tissue PC-1 protein content, but not tumour necrosis factor-alpha gene expression, is associated with a reduc- tion of both whole body insulin sensitivity and

anti TGF- β 1 antibody (Ab) suppressed: E) mRNA expression of ATF3 was significantly suppressed. F) Western blot (a) and densitometry quantification (b) ATF3 protein expression

Grim19 production was increased significantly, whereas STAT3 expression was decreased significantly, in DSS induced colitis mice treated with Grim19 compared with.. control mice (

To investigate whether obesity modulates the expression KLFs in adipose tissue, the mRNA levels of KLF3, KLF9, KLF10, KLF13 and KLF15 were evaluated in epididymal adipose tissue

Analysis of the adipose tissue gene expression revealed that the mRNA levels of adiponectin and interleukin- 10 were significantly higher in chow diet-fed Tg mice as compared to

Moreover, these cells, independently of the tissue of origin (fat, muscle or lung) had undergone differentiation into mature adipocytes (positive for laminin, Figure 2b),
