Expression profiles of key genes involved in IAT FA metabolism. Differentially expressed genes in db/+ (the white square) as well as 10 (the off-white square), 30 (the grey square), and 100 (the black square)  mg/kg RSG-treated db/db mice were measured versus untreated db/db and plotted as the mean (% increase/decrease of db/db control) SEM ( ).
