Figure 2. Fatty acids uptake and lipogenesis in liver of differently treated mice. (A–C) Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to determine the hepatic mRNA levels of fatty acids uptake-, de novo lipogenesis- and lipid oxidation related genes in STZ-treated C57BL/6 mice, HFD-treated C57BL/6 mice and db/db mice (n=6, *p<0.05). (D) Western blot was used to analyse the hepatic protein levels of fatty acids uptake-, de novo lipogenesis- and lipid oxidation related genes in STZ-treated C57BL/6 mice, HFD-treated C57BL/6 mice and db/db mice (n=3).
