Hepatic RNA were isolated and subjected to quantitative RT-PCR for the genes indicated. The expression levels were normalized with cyclophilin A and compared to untreated controls, which is set at 1.0. Srebp-1c, sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c, Fasn: fatty acid synthase, Acc1: acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1, Acox1: acyl-CoA oxidase 1, Cpt1a: carnitine-palmitoyl transferase, 1a. ND: not determined. Values shown are mean±SEM.
Letter a indicates p<0.01, letter b indicates p<0.05 (t test).
Mice were given CBZ (25 mg/kg) or rapamycin (2 mg/kg) by i.p. and sacrificed 16 hours later. Expression levels are compared to control mice without treatment (n=3–6).
Mice were given 29% ethanol liquid diet for 4 weeks. Expression levels were compared to mice receiving control liquid diet (n=3).
Mice were given HFD for 20 weeks. Expression levels were compared to mice receiving regular chow diet (n=4–6).
