Herbal SGR Formula Prevents Acute Ethanol-Induced Liver Steatosis via Inhibition of Lipogenesis and Enhancement Fatty Acid Oxidation in Mice

Figure 5

Effects of SGR on the hepatic AMPK, P-AMPKβ, PPAR-α, and SREBP-1c protein expression in mice with acute ethanol exposure, respectively. (a) AMPK, P-AMPKβ, PPAR-α, and SREBP-1c were quantified with Tublin as an internal control. (b) Hepatic AMPK levels were quantified with ELISA (). (c, e, and f) AMPK, PPAR-α, and SREBP-1c protein levels of them were expressed as the relative content of the control value. (d) P-AMPKβ/AMPK expressed as the degree of phosphorylated AMPK. These data were representative of three independent experiments. , , compared with normal control group; , , compared with ethanol group.
