From: Absence of Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-4 (TIMP4) ameliorates high fat diet-induced obesity in mice due to defective lipid absorption

Figure 1

High fat feeding increased TIMP4 protein levels in adipose tissue. (A) Representative Western blot and averaged protein quantification for TIMP4 in epididymal fat pads in WT mice following chow or high fat diet (HFD). Coomassie blue-stained gel is used as the loading control. (B) Timp4 mRNA expression in WT-chow and WT-HFD. 18S rRNA was used as internal control. n = 4–6. Averaged data are presented as mean ± S.E.M and analyzed by student’s t-test analysis. * indicates significance (p ≤ 0.05).
