Abstract:
Objective To observe the characteristics of obesity in rats with metabolic syndrome (MS) and to study the role of ERK1/2 and p38MAPK in the production of adipose tissues. Methods The metabolic parameters, weight of adipose tissue, waist circumference (WC), Lee's index, distribution area of adipocytes and the number of big adipocytes in the rats were measured. Adipose tissues and liver were histopathologically observed. ERK1/2 and p38MAPK of adipose tissue were determined using Western blot. Results (1) The blood pressure, fasting insulin level, LDL-C, TG and FFA in rats with MS were markedly higher than that in control rats (P
