Average mRNA expression of genes related to insulin sensitivity in six different fat depots from primiparous cows.

<p>Means (± SEM) are presented across sampling times and treatments for adiponectin (ADIPOQ), adiponectin receptors (ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2), leptin (LEP), leptin receptor isoform b (LEPRB), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) <i>γ</i> and <i>γ2</i>, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)<i>-α</i>, and interleukin (IL)<i>-6</i> mRNA abundance. Different letters specify the differences between individual fat depots (<i>P</i>≤0.05). Data were normalized based on the geometric mean of eukariotic translation initiation factor 3 (EIF3K), lipoprotein receptor-related protein 10 (LRP10), RNA polymerase II (POLR2A), emerin (EMD), marvel domain containing 1 (MARVELD1), and hippocalcin-like 1 (HPCAL1).
