From: Novel anti-inflammatory role of SLPI in adipose tissue and its regulation by high fat diet

Figure 1

High fat feeding increases SLPI expression in adipose tissue of mice. Mice were fed either a control low fat (LF) or high fat (HF) diet for 12 weeks. Epididymal adipose tissue were obtained and subjected to western blotting for SLPI protein. A representative blot is presented in Figure 1A. Expression of SLPI mRNA was quantified in Figures 1B, 1C and 1D. High fat feeding increases SLPI mRNA (Figure 1B) in adipose tissue. Higher expression of SLPI was observed in epididymal and mesenteric depots compared to the subcutaneous depot (Figure 1C), and in the stromal vascular faction compared to adipocytes (Figure 1D). Bars represent means and ± SEM. Superscript letters represent significant mean differences, P < 0.05.
