Abstract
The mRNA expressions of chemerin and its receptor CMKLR1 in adipose tissue of OLETF rats and LETO rats were detected by real-time PCR. The results showed that the two genes mRNA expressions in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue in OLETF group were significantly higher than those in LETO group (P< 0.05 or P<0.01) and expressions of them in visceral adipose tissue were higher than those in subcutaneous adipose tissue(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), suggesting that chemerin and CMKLR1 may be involved in the pathogenesis of obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Key words: OLETF; Chemerin; CMKLR1; Real-time PCR; Gene expression
