Despite a similar degree of adiposity, HFD estrogen-deficient females exhibit reduced adipose tissue inflammation compared to HFD males. After 16 weeks of LFD or HFD, adipose tissue inflammation was assessed via (A) qRT-PCR for inflammatory markers (n = 7–10), and (B) via western blot for JNK activation (n = 5–6). Data is presented as mean ± SE. Bar graphs not sharing a common letter are significantly different from one another (P < 0.05).
