PRDX6-/- mice develop a proinflammatory state in liver and white adipose tissue. Gene expression analysis obtained by real-time PCR in WT mice and PRDX6-/- mice for leukocyte cell surface markers (CD68, F4/80, CD11c, CD19, CD3, Arg1, Mgl1, Mgl2, and YM1), chemokines (MCP-1 and Kc), and cytokines (IL-1β, IL-10, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-21) ( mice per group). All the results were normalized using β-actin and expressed as . a.u.: arbitrary units; ND: not detectable; NS: not significant value. and .
