This study investigates the effects of a high-fat diet (HFD) on plasma glucose, insulin levels, and adipose tissue gene expression in db/db mice compared to control models. Analysis of fat pad weights and mRNA expression of ATX (autotaxin) suggests significant alterations linked to obesity and metabolic dysregulation. The findings contribute to understanding the molecular underpinnings of obesity-related complications and the roles of adipose tissue in regulating systemic metabolism.
