<table>(a) Western blotting analysis of hepatic PPAR<i>α</i> and related genes. All mice from each treatment and genotype were examined across two gels, one of which is shown here. (b) Western blotting analysis of hepatic PPAR<i>α</i> and related genes. Each band was quantified by densitometric analysis as described in Materials and Methods, and mean strength of control in <i>mPPAR<i>α</i></i> mice was assigned a value of 1.0. White, gray, and black columns represent control values, 2.5 mM- and 5.0 mM-treated group, respectively. Each column and bar represents mean ± S.D., respectively. *Significantly different from respective controls (<svg height="11.375" id="M77" style="vertical-align:-0.1638pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 58.712502 11.375" width="58.712502" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
