Effects of dietary fibers on liver AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling in mice. The protein abundances of AMPKα1, AMPKα2, ACC, SIRT1, sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) 1c and phosphorylated AMPKα, and ACC were measured by immunoblotting.

Notes: Data are shown as mean ± standard error of the mean (n = 9/group). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001, dietary fiber-supplemented group vs HFD-only group; ^##P < 0.01, CEL or PSY vs SCF group.

Abbreviations: CEL, cellulose; HFD, high-fat diet; PSY, psyllium; SCF, sugar cane fiber.
