Second scoring network inclusive of up-regulated genes (score = 40) in LOCK vs RUN.

<p>Nodes represent genes/molecules. Shading is proportional to fold change size (red: upregulated). Direct and indirect relationships are denoted with solid and dashed lines, respectively. White nodes denote network members that were not altered in the network. Lines ending in an arrow or blunt end indicate known direction of molecular activation or inhibition, respectively. Different shapes of genes represent different gene functions.</p

PRAT adipocyte size distribution.

<p>Adipocyte diameters were classified in 10-μm categories [category #, adipocyte diameter range in μm (10: 0.0–9.0μm, 20: 10.0–19.9μm, 20: 20.0–29.9μm, etc.] on the x-axis; and the percentage of total adipocytes in a 10-μm category was plotted on y-axis. At least 300 adipocyte diameters were measured for each tissue sample. Different letters denote differences among groups at each 10-μm category, p<0.05, as determined by Student’s t-test.</p

Top scoring network inclusive of genes expressed only in LOCK (score = 63).

<p>Nodes represent genes/molecules. Shading is proportional to RPKM value. Direct and indirect relationships are denoted with solid and dashed lines, respectively. White nodes denote network members that were not altered in the network. Lines ending in an arrow or blunt end indicate known direction of molecular activation or inhibition, respectively. Different shapes of genes represent different gene functions.</p

Daily food intake over the final 14 days.

<p>The vertical dashed line represents the day of wheel locking (LOCK). Different letters denote significance among groups at p < 0.05, as determined by Student’s t-test.</p

Protein expression of A) Col1a1 and B) Cd36 in PRAT from continued wheel access (RUN) and wheel locking (LOCK) rats (n = 5 per group).

<p>Protein expression was normalized for Ponceau S.</p
