Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5 Knock down of chemerin specific in SAT promote adipogenesis and improve GTT and ITT. Male mice were fed with HFD and infected with shLacZ or shRarres2 twice weekly via subcutaneous injection adjacent to inguinal SAT for 8 weeks. (A) Gene expression levels of chemerin in SAT. (B) Body weight of mice. (C) Comparison of SAT. (D) Ratio of fat weight to body weight. (E) Total DNA of SAT. (F and H) Adipocyte cell size of SAT. (F and G) IHC of TIMP1 in SAT. (I) mRNA expression levels of TIMP1 in SAT. (J) Western blot analysis of PPARg and C/EBPa. (K) GTT and ITT analysis. (L-M) Representative flow cytometric analysis of adipocyte- progenitors (L) and macrophage (M) in SAT of indicated mice. n Z 6/group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
