GC and Abdominal obesity: Using protein–protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, we found that the rDEGs involved in the lipid metabolism process formed a complex network centered on glucocorticoid receptor (Nr3c1) and insulin receptor substrate 1 (Irs1) (Figure 7B), reinforcing the fact that FGF21 LKO abrogates OVX-induced central obesity via modulating both GC/GR signaling and insulin signaling.
