Figure Lengend Snippet: a – c Impaired response of plasma leptin, insulin, and pancreatic polypeptide in fasted mice and 15 min after an oral high fat meal. d Stomach acetylcholine levels in 4 h refed mice. e, f Gastric secretions at 1 h after pylorus ligation in 18 h fasted mice given i.p. saline (Control), carbachol (CCh, 60 µg/kg) or histamine (H, 10 mg/kg). e Gastric juice pH. f Immunoblots of gastric juice; quantification of gastric intrinsic factor (GIF)/total protein in juice showing reduced GIF output in Cd36 −/− mice given carbachol. g Chief cells markers by qPCR and immunostaining (green) in corpus of wildtype (WT) and Cd36 −/− mice, scale: 50 µm. h mRNA of muscarinic receptor 1 (M1r) in the corpus of WT and Cd36 −/− mice. Significance was calculated using a two-way ANOVA followed by post hoc tests by Sidak multiple comparisons or a two-sided unpaired t test ( d and h ). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01. a – c n = 4–5 per condition/group; d : n = 7–12; e, f n = 3–4; g, h n = 5.
Article Snippet: Tissue proteins separated by SDS-PAGE (4–12% acrylamide; Invitrogen), transferred to polyvinlyidene fluoride membranes (Millipore) and blocked (Li-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, NE), were incubated overnight (4 °C) with primary antibodies; mouse anti-mouse β-actin (1:5000), intrinsic factor (1:1000) (Santa Cruz Biotech), goat anti-mouse CD36 (1:1000, R&D Systems).
