Clock gene expression in visceral adipose (WAT) and liver tissues in mice with one meal or two meals. A, B: Daily pattern of Per2 and Bmal1 mRNA level in WAT, respectively. E, F: Daily pattern of Per2 and Bmal1 mRNA level in liver, respectively. The number of mice at each time point was 4–6 for each group. C, D, G, H: Columns show the average level of gene expression throughout the day. Data are presented as mean ± SEM values (FF, n = 16; one meal, n = 20; two meals, n = 19). Y-axis: the relative levels of each data set are normalized to the corresponding Gapdh mRNA levels. Gray circle and column: FF; white circle and column: one meal; black circle and column: two meals. ## p < 0.01, #p < 0.05 vs. FF, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 vs. one meal (Tukey-Kramer test).
