EK inhibits the expression of lipogenic genes in the mouse liver.
3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation induced by DM. Real-time RT-PCR results of gene expression levels of PPARγ, PPARα, PPARδ/ß, C/EBPα, C/EBPß, UCP2, ACO, ACC and aP2 in liver of EK treated mice were compared to that of HF control mice from preventive treatment. β-actin was used as an internal control. Data are presented as means ± SE for 5 mice per group. *P<0.05.
