The influence of fasting on MT mRNA level in WAT of rats. MT1 (a), MT2 (b), and MT3 (c) mRNA levels relative to β-actin mRNA levels in retroperitoneal, epididymal, and inguinal WAT of rats fed ad libitum (CN) and fasted rats: 24 h (F24), 48 h (F48), and 72 h (F72) are shown on the graphs (mean ± S.D., n = 10) *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 . Note that MT3 mRNA levels in retroperitoneal, epididymal, and inguinal of control rats were significantly lower than MT1 and MT2
