Antiobesity Effects of the Ethanol Extract of Laminaria japonica Areshoung in High-Fat-Diet-Induced Obese Rat
Figure 9
Effect of LE on the gene expressions related to lipid metabolism in brown and white adipose tissues. Rats were treated with LE or tea catechin for 6 weeks. The level of SREBP-1, ACC1, FAS, SCD-1, LPL, PPARγ, ATGL, HSL, CPT-1, and UCP1 mRNA was 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 (n ≥ 8). #, ##, ### versus the ND group; *, **, *** versus HD groups.
