CD36 induces pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic gene expression in adipose tissue.

<p>Epididymal fat from WT and CD36 KO mice after 16 wks on a HFD. RNA was isolated and Q-PCR was performed. <b>A</b>. Expression of genes associated with inflammation. <b>B</b>. Genes associated with cell death. Data was normalized to 36B4 expression. Values shown are mean ± SD (n = 5), *, p<0.05; **, p<0.001.
