Antioxidant Activity of Sprouts Extracts Is Correlated with Their Anti-Obesity and Anti-Inflammatory Effects in High-Fat Diet-Fed Mice

Figure 4

Effects of the CS and OB extracts on mRNA expression of lipid metabolism involved genes in the adipose tissue and liver of HDF-fed mice. Expression level of each gene in the adipose tissue (a) and liver (b) was analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR (n = 4–6/gr) as described in Materials and Methods. Means sharing the same alphabet in superscripts on the bars are not significantly different at as determined by ANOVA and Duncan’s multiple range test. PPARγ: peroxisome proliferator activator receptor γ, FAS: fatty acid synthase, CPT-1: carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1, ns: not significant.
