Article Title: Gut–Liver Axis-Mediated Anti-Obesity Effects and Viscosity Characterization of a Homogenized Viscous Vegetable Mixture in Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet
doi: 10.3390/plants14162510
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of the homogenized viscous vegetable mixture on hepatic mRNA expressions related to fatty acid synthesis ( A – E ), fatty acid oxidation ( F – M ) and cholesterol-metabolism ( N , O ) in high-fat (HF) diet-fed mice. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (SD) ( n = 7). Significance between two groups was determined using Student’s t -test. p < 0.05. * represents a significant difference with the C group, # represents a significant difference with the H group; + represents a significant difference with the CV group. SREBP, sterol regulatory element-binding protein; AMPKα, adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinaseα; ACC, acetyl-CoA carboxylase; FAS, fatty acid synthase; SCD1, stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1; PPAR, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor; PGC1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1; SIRT1, sirtuin 1; AdipoR2, adiponectin receptor 2; MCAD, medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase; ACO1, acyl-CoA oxidase 1; CPT1, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1; CYP7A1, cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase.
Article Snippet: Plasma adipokines levels were detected with a Leptin Mouse/Rat ELISA kit (Biovendor, Brno, Czech Republic) and a Rat Adiponectin ELISA kit (Assaypro, Charles, MO, USA), following the manufacturer’s instructions.
