Fig. 3From: Deficiency in interleukin-18 promotes differentiation of brown adipose tissue resulting in fat accumulation despite dyslipidemiaIdentification of effector molecules of ‘Quantity of adipose tissue’ in Il18−/− mice. a Summary of the microarray analyses of Il18−/− and Il18+/+ BAT at 6 and 12 weeks of age. Genes with expression > 2-fold or < 0.5-fold compared with that of the Il18+/+ mice were chosen. Three molecules involved in ‘Quantity of adipose tissue’ at both 6 and 12 weeks of age are shown. b The mRNA expression of these molecules by microarray and qRT-PCR at 6 and 12 weeks of age (n = 3 per group). **p < 0.01.
