Among the 18 DEGs, interleukin 15 (Il15), F-box and WD repeat domain containing 7 (Fbxw7) and uncoupling protein 3 (Ucp3) were related to increased glycaemia (Gray & Kamolrat, 2011; Zhao et al., 2018), glucose intolerance (Fujimoto et al., 2019), and increased fatty acid oxidation (Bezaire et al., 2005). Here, UCP3 is linked to Glucose intolerance.
