The effects of different durations of the HFF/FW diet on adipokine expression in the POATs were evaluated. The animals were again allocated into STD (N = 40) and HFF/FW (N = 40) diets at 6 weeks of age. After each completed week of dietary manipulation over a 4-week period, mice (N = 10/group/week) were randomly chosen from each treatment group and sacrificed under anesthesia with 5% isoflurane. Blood and ovaries were collected using the methods described in Section 2.2.1. The POATs were harvested and stored in liquid nitrogen for subsequent protein extraction and assay.
