Hepatic Metabolic, Inflammatory, and Stress-Related Gene Expression in Growing Mice Consuming a Low Dose of Trans-10, cis-12-Conjugated Linoleic Acid

Table 4

Hepatic expression of genes related to LCFA uptake, lipogenesis, TG synthesis, lipoprotein synthesis, and transcription regulation in mice fed control or the control supplemented with trans-10, cis-12-CLA. There were no significant interactions of treatment × time. Therefore, the results are presented according to main effects (treatment and time).
