Figure 5

(A) Intramuscular triglycerides content in red gastrocnemius of ND (n = 9), HFD (n = 10) and HFD+EPA (n = 10) mice. (B) 14C-palmitate complete β-oxidation and mRNA expression of (C) CPT1b and (D) UCP3 in soleus muscle of ND (n = 9), HFD (n = 6–10) and HFD+EPA mice (n = 6–10). Results are mean ±SEM and were normalized to the ND group (100%) for B, C and D, *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001
