PRDX6-/- mice show an upregulation in the release of free fatty acid from adipose tissue, liver gluconeogenesis, and ketogenesis. mRNA expression of genes involved in (a) lipid biogenesis (SREBP1-c, FAS, and CD36), (b) lipolysis and β-oxidation (PNPLA2, Acox-1, and Cpt1-α), (c) total serum FFA concentration, (d) liver gluconeogenesis (Pepck, G6P), and (e) total serum ketone body concentration that was calculated using the following formula: ( mice per group). a.u.: arbitrary units. The results are expressed as . Statistically significant differences between PRDX6-/- mice and WT mice are indicated; .
