Effects of E. cava extract on adipocyte lipolysis in response to an agonist upregulation in visceral fat of high-fat diet- (HFD-) induced obese mice. To validate adipocyte lipolysis related markers such as (a) AC, (b) HSL, and (c) PKA in visceral fat of standard normal fat diet with 0.9% saline (NFD/saline; open bar), HFD with 0.9% saline (HFD/saline; black bar), HFD with E. cava extract (HFD/ECE; red bar), and HFD with Garcinia cambogia extract (HFD/GCE; blue bar) groups, these mRNA expression levels were assessed by qRT-PCR. All mRNA levels expressed relative level and normalized ß-actin of the NFD/saline group. The same letters represent no significant difference ().
