Effect of HAS on the transcription of genes involved in lipid metabolism in liver tissues (a, b); values are expressed as (). Effect of HAS on the levels of PPARγ and APOE in liver tissue using Western blotting (c–e). Values are expressed as (). ND: normal diet-treated rats; HFD: high-fat diet-treated rats; HFD+FNB: HFD supplemented with fenofibrate-treated rats; HFD+LD: rats treated with HFD supplemented with a low dose of HAS; HFD+MD: rats treated with HFD supplemented with a middle dose of HAS; HFD+HD: rats treated with HFD supplemented with a high dose of HAS; vs. ND; vs. HFD; n.s.: nonsignificant.
