Effect of oral administration of P. gingivalis or propolis on gene expression in the epididymal adipose tissue. a Relative gene expression of adipocytokine. b Relative expression of genes related to glucose metabolism. Sham-administered mice (N = 7), P. gingivalis-administered mice (N = 7), P. gingivalis and propolis-administered mice (N = 8). The relative mRNA expressions of the genes of interest were normalized to the relative quantity of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) mRNA. All data are means ± SD. (*p < 0.05, Kruskal-Wallis test with post-hoc Dunn’s multiple comparison test)
