Gene expression of BCAA metabolic enzyme in skeletal muscle of PGC-1α Tg mice.

<p>Expression of A) BCAT2, B) BCKDH, and C) BCKDK genes in WT (control; open columns, N = 9) and PGC-1α Tg (filled columns, N = 7) mice by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. RNA was obtained from mice with feeding condition. These samples were as used in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0091006#pone.0091006-Tadaishi1" target="_blank">[4]</a>. In the sample, PGC-1α expression was 30 fold higher in Tg mice than in WT mice (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0091006#pone-0091006-g001" target="_blank">Fig. 1</a> of <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0091006#pone.0091006-Tadaishi1" target="_blank">[4]</a>). The relative values are shown (the control is set as 100). ***P<0.001.
