Table 2 Adipose tissue gene expression levels in CB 1 +/+ and CB 1 -/- mice fed chow, a HF or a HF/FO diet during 6 weeks

From: Resistance to diet-induced adiposity in cannabinoid receptor-1 deficient mice is not due to impaired adipocyte function

  1. Expression levels were normalized to cyclophilin expression and values are given as means ± SEM for n = 4-8; # p < 0.05 compared to chow group of the same genotype, $ p < 0.05 compared to HF group of the same genotype (Student t-test). ND, non-detectable.
  2. General linear model analysis revealed overall effects for the following parameters (p < 0.05):
  3. Chow versus HF: aP2, Scd1, Srebp-1c.
  4. Chow versus HF/FO: Fas.
  5. HF versus HF/FO: Fas, Scd1, Srebp-1c.
