Fig. 6From: Long-term fructose feeding changes the expression of leptin receptors and autophagy genes in the adipose tissue and liver of male rats: a possible link to elevated triglyceridesLEPR mRNA expression in a WAT and b liver. The primers used here amplify all the isoforms of LEPR. The whiskers indicate the range from minimum to maximum value. The expression is relative to GAPDH and 18sRNA expression. LEPR expression was downregulated in WAT (p < 0.001) and upregulated in liver (p < 0.001) in fructose-fed rats. IUGR resulted in upregulation of LEPR in WAT (p < 0.001).
