Figure Lengend Snippet: DIO exacerbates phenotypic differences between WT and Fabp4/5 dKO mice. Mouse weights over time (A; WT male, n = 9-10; Fabp4/5 dKO male, n = 9-10; WT female, n = 8-10; Fabp4/5 dKO female, n = 10), ultrafocus dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry-Faxitron quantification of total weight (B) and fat weight (C) over the course of HFD administration before tumor cell injection (WT M, n = 9-10; Fabp4/5 dKO M, n = 10; WT F, n = 9-10; Fabp4/5 dKO , n = 10). Glucose levels assessed during glucose (D) and insulin (E) tolerance testing in WT (n = 10) and Fabp4/5 dKO mice (n = 10); statistical analysis performed using 2-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey multiple comparisons tests. AUC for glucose tolerance testing (D) and insulin tolerance testing (E); statistical significance was determined using 2-way ANOVA with Tukey multiple comparison tests for panels B-C, whereas unpaired t tests were used for panels D-E (WT, n = 10; Fabp4/5 dKO , n = 10). AUC, area under the curve; min, minute.

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0163958

Figure Lengend Snippet: A, B : Purified human HK (20, 40, 80, and 110ng) and 0.5μL of plasma from five male healthy donors, (H1 to H5) (A), and five females (H6 to H10) (B) were subjected to SDS-PAGE. The signal of HK native chain (N-HK), light chain (LC-HK), and cleaved light chain (cLC-HK) were quantified by densitometry and N-HK concentration was evaluated by the displayed linear regression. C, D : Box-plot displaying 5–95% range ( italic fonts), median ( bold fonts), and interquartile values of plasma concentration of N-HK (C) and HK cleavage (D), measured as in panel A. densito: densitometry in 10 7 arbitrary units; NS: non-significant; ****: p <10 −4 (Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test).

Article Snippet: Using enhanced chemiluminescence (Clarity Western ECL TM substrate, Biorad, Hercules, USA) and densitometry scan quantification (ChemiDoc TM XRS+ System camera and Image Lab TM software, Bio-Rad, Hercules, USA), three molecular species were retained for data processing: native protein (N-HK, 120kDa), light chain (LC-HK, 56kDa), and cleaved light chain (cLC-HK, 46kDa).

Figure Lengend Snippet: A : Purified human HK (20, 40, 80, and 110ng) and 0.5μL of plasma from nC1Inh-AE male patients (M1 to M5) were subjected to SDS-PAGE. The signal of HK native chain (N-HK), light chain (LC-HK), and cleaved light chain (cLC-HK) were quantified by densitometry and N-HK concentration by the displayed linear regression.
