Effects of Electroacupuncture on PGC-1α Expression in Brown Adipose Tissue
Figure 2
Effect of electroacupuncture on the expression of PGC-1α and UCP-1 in the BAT of normal rats. (a) Real-time PCR analysis of induction of PGC-1α mRNA in BAT of normal rats under different electroacupuncture conditions at ST36 acupoint. Relative expression was normalized to the expression of cyclophilin. Data represent mean ± SEM of at least three independent experiments. (b) Real-time PCR analysis of induction of UCP-1 mRNA in BAT of normal rats under different electroacupuncture conditions at ST36 acupoint.
