Antiobesity Effects of the Ethanol Extract of Laminaria japonica Areshoung in High-Fat-Diet-Induced Obese Rat

Figure 7

Effect of LE on the gene expressions related to lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle. Rats were treated with LE or tea catechin for 6 weeks. The level of PPARα, UCP2, UCP3, ACO, ACC2, and CPT-1 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 ( ). ### versus the ND group; * , *** versus HD groups.
