Effects of sex on hepatic CD36 mRNA expression in mice and rats. mRNA expression of CD36 was quantified by real-time PCR in livers from male or female mice (A) and rats (B). Exon-specific primers were used to measure the mRNA abundance of specific regions of the transcript, which were normalized to the mRNA level of GAPDH in mouse and that of RPLP0 in rat samples. Data are presented in relation to the expression level of the same transcript in male counterparts. The obtained data were analyzed using Student's T-test and bars represent the mean ± S.E. Asterisks indicate significant sex differences (p < 0.05).
