Feeding carbohydrate increased the mRNA expression of genes associated with lipogenesis within the sWAT (Fasn, Scd1, Acc; p < 0.05; Fig. 6b), whereas FGF21-treated +CH mice showed even significantly higher Scd1 (p < 0.01) and Acc mRNA expression by trend (p = 0.08) compared with the PBS-treated +CH mice. Here, SCD is linked to cyclic hematopoiesis.
