TABLE 3.
Hepatic gene expression in AdHSL- and AdATGL-infected ob/ob mice Hepatic mRNA levels were assessed by qPCR. Data, expressed as means ± S.D., were normalized to β-actin gene expression. Data derived from AdGFP-infected animals are expressed as 100%, and those of the other groups are expressed as a percentage of the AdGFP-infected controls. Comparisons were made against AdGFP-infected animals using Student's t test. L-Fabp is liver fatty acid-binding protein.
