From: Glucose intolerance after chronic stress is related with downregulated PPAR-γ in adipose tissue
Expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR). Animals submitted to CUS displayed a lower expression of PPAR-γ mRNA quantified by real-time PCR in the white adipose tissue (vWAT) both after stress and after recovery (a). No differences were found in the expression of PPAR-γ mRNA in the liver (b). The expression of PPAR-β was similar between CUS and the controls in the vWAT (c), while in the liver the expression of PPAR-β was elevated in CUS after stress returning to basal levels after recovery (d). No differences were found in the expression of PPAR-α between CUS and controls neither in the vWAT (e) nor in the liver (f). CTL controls; CUS chronic unpredictable stress; PPAR peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01
