FIGURE 1. Macronutrient composition determines the <strong>obesogenic</strong> effect <strong>of</strong> fish oil. Male<br />

C57BL/6 mice (n=8) were pair-fed isocaloric high fat diets with different carbohydrate/protein<br />

ratios for 6 weeks. (A) Body weight development in pair-fed mice is shown as relative increase. (B)<br />

Energy efficiency was calculated as body weight gain divided by feed energy intake. (C) Weight<br />

reduction during 24h fasting was measured and Ucp1 (Uncoupling protein-1) and Dio2 (deiodinase,<br />

iodothyronine, type II) expressions were measured by RT-qPCR. (D-F) Adipose tissue and liver<br />

were dissected out and the weights were recorded. Expressions <strong>of</strong> Pparg (peroxisome proliferator<br />

activated receptor gamma), Srebf1 (sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1), Fasn<br />

(<strong>fatty</strong> acid synthase), Ucp1 (Uncoupling protein-1), Serpine1 (Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1),<br />

Ccl2 (chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2), Cd68 (CD68 antigen) and Emr1 (EGF-like module<br />

containing, mucin-like, hormone receptor-like sequence 1 or F4/80) were measured in epididymal<br />

and inguinal white adipose tissue and expressions <strong>of</strong> Acox1 (acyl-CoA oxidase 1), Cpt1a (carnitine<br />

palmitoyltransferase 1a), Fasn (<strong>fatty</strong> acid synthase), Ppargc1a (peroxisome proliferator-activated<br />

receptor gamma, coactivator 1 alpha), Pck1 (phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1, cytosolic) and<br />

Agxt (alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase) were measured in liver using RT-qPCR and normalized<br />

to Tbp (TATA-box binding protein). Data <strong>are</strong> presented as mean ± SEM. Different small letters<br />

denote significant differences (P
