Figure 8
Effect of LE on the gene expressions related to lipid metabolism in liver. Rats were treated with LE or tea catechin for 6 weeks. The level of SREBP-1, ACC, FAS, SCD-1, GPAT, DPAT, AGPAT, CPT-1 and PPARα mRNA were determined by RT-PCR analysis. Actin mRNA was used as an internal control. Relative fold intensities were analyzed using band densities obtained from RT-PCR. All RNA levels were normalized to that of Actin mRNA. Results shown are mean and standard deviation (). #, ##, ### versus the ND group; *, **, *** versus HD groups.
