St. John’s Wort Has Metabolically Favorable Effects on Adipocytes In Vivo

Figure 2

SJW increases the levels of adiponectin in WAT in a depot specific manner. WAT from the epididymal (a) and inguinal (b) depots was removed and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. Tissue extracts were subjected to western blot analysis. There were 13 mice per condition and, of those, 8 mice per condition are shown. Bar graphs represent relative optical densities of adiponectin, normalized to total Akt derived from the same gel. /group. versus control. Data are presented as means SEM.
