Epididymal adipose tissue injection of KIRA6 improved hypoadiponectinemia and insulin resistance in rats with periodontitis. (A) Western blotting image of adiponectin expression. (B) Adiponectin expression in the periodontitis + KIRA6 group was higher than that in the periodontitis group. (C) The serum adiponectin level in the periodontitis + KIRA6 group was higher than that in the periodontitis group. (D) HOMA-IR in the periodontitis + KIRA6 group was lower than that in the periodontitis group. The samples derive from the same experiment and that blots were processed in parallel. The full-length blots are presented in Supplementary File. 1 Fig. 4S. Data are presented as the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 vs. the control group, #P < 0.05 vs. the periodontitis group
