Decaffeinated Green Coffee Bean Extract Attenuates Diet-Induced Obesity and Insulin Resistance in Mice
Figure 5
Effects of green coffee bean extract and 5-CQA supplementation on genes regulating adipogenesis in mice fed the HFD. (a) The expression of WNT10b-related genes in the epididymal adipose tissue was determined by RT-PCR and normalized to that of GAPDH. (b) Protein levels of β-catenin and GAPDH in the epididymal adipose tissue were determined by Western blotting. (c) and (d) The expression of galanin-related and adipogenic target genes in the epididymal adipose tissue was determined by RT-PCR and normalized to that of GAPDH. Data represent the results of three independent experiments (, 3 mice per experiment). indicates statistical significance. Values are the mean ± SEM, for each group.
