Clock genes expression in islets during 24 h.
Pancreatic islets were isolated at different times of day (6:00 h, 12:00 h, 18:00 h and 24:00 h) after 10 weeks of taurine treatment. (n = 4–5). (A) Clock gene expression in isolated islets.
(C),
(C+T),
(HFD) and
(HFD+T). (B) Rev-erb alpha gene expression in islets. (C) Bmal1 gene expression in islets. (D) Per2 gene expression in islets. (E) Per1 gene expression in islets. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Differences between C vs C+T (&&P < 0.01), C vs HFD (*P < 0.05) and HFD vs HFD+T (#P < 0.05) (n = 6–7 mice per group). The black bars refer on the top of the figures to the dark cycle and the white bars to the light cycle.
