PPARG and infection: qPCR demonstrated a significant decrease in the mRNA levels of the genes involved in adipogenesis such as adiponectin, (−11.5 fold), Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ, −6.0), Adipogenin (Adig, −3.5 fold) and leptin (−55 fold) in WAT of RD-fed mice compared to HFD-fed mice during acute (d35pi) infection (Table 1).
