Fig. 7From: 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 triglyceridesExpression of autophagy genes mRNA. a ATG7 expression in WAT was downregulated by the fructose diet (p < 0.001) and upregulated by IUGR (p = 0.020). b ATG7 expression in liver was increased by the fructose diet (p = 0.024) and decreased by IUGR (p = 0.007). c LAMP2 expression in WAT was slightly downregulated in fructose-fed rats (p = 0.004) and also by IUGR (p = 0.031). d LAMP2 was upregulated in liver by the fructose diet (p < 0.001). In WAT, the expression is relative to GAPDH and 18sRNA expression and in liver relative to HPRT and UBC expression. The whiskers indicate the range from minimum to maximum values.
