Gene expression levels in the liver.

<p>The mRNA levels of sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c), fatty acid synthase (FAS), proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD-1), proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) were determined using qRT-PCR. Data are expressed as means ± SD (n = 10, fold change relative to the AL group). *<i>p</i><0.05, **<i>p</i><0.01 compared with the AL group.
