Real-time RT-qPCR was performed as described previously [11 (link)]. Total RNA was isolated using the TRIzol Reagent (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). RNA (500 ng) was reverse transcribed with the High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit with RNase Inhibitor (Applied Biosystems, Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The mRNA levels of adipogenic-related genes were measured with Single Tube TaqMan Gene Expression Assays (Life Technologies, Thermo Fisher Scientific) (Supplementary Table S8). The levels of gene expression were quantified relative to the level of Hprt1.
