Figure 4

Hepatic mRNA expression of Aco, ApoA5, ApoC3, and Cpt-1 as analyzed by semiquantitative RT-PCR in db/db mice. (a) Liver tissues were dissected and analyzed 28 days after zopol treatment. (b) Liver tissues were dissected and analyzed 28 days after transduction with lentiviruses containing pLV-shAR or pLV-shNC. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 3-4). * ; NS: not significant.
