Effects of dietary betaine on lipid metabolism in the liver of mandarin fish. (A) expression of lipogenesis genes in the liver; (B) expression of lipolysis gene in the liver; (C) expression of gene related to fatty acid β-oxidation in the liver. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6). * indicates significant difference between groups (P < 0.05). srebp1: sterol regulatory element binding protein; accα: acetyl-CoA carboxylase; fas: fatty acid synthase; lpl: lipoprotein lipase; pparα: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-a.
