Fermentation of Soy Milk via Lactobacillus plantarum Improves Dysregulated Lipid Metabolism in Rats on a High Cholesterol Diet
Figure 5
The effects of SOY or FSOY on mRNA levels of adiponectin and adiponectin receptors, and on AMPK activation.
Hepatic and adipose levels of phosphorylated AMPK (A and B) and phosphorylated ACC (C and D), fat adiponectin mRNA (E) and protein (F), and mRNA levels of adiponectin receptor 1 (G) and adiponectin receptor 2 (H). The results are expressed as means ± SE of eight animal tissues. Values not sharing the same letter were significantly different (P<0.05) between all groups by ANOVA, and Student’s t-test was performed to compare the hepatic and adipose protein levels of p-ACC between the CHOL and FSOY groups.
