Effect of RHE on PPARγ expression in epididymal fat. Male C57BL/6 J mice were fed HFD or HFDRH for 8 weeks. On the final day, a part of epididymal fat was collected and total protein extracted. The amount of PPARγ was quantified by Western blotting. Protein expression of PPARγ was quantified and normalized against GAPDH. Each column represents mean±SEM and n=5. Significantly different from the HFD-fed group (white column), ^*P<0.05 (Student’s t test). RHE, rosehip extract; HFD, high-fat diet group; HFDRH, high-fat diet containing 1% rosehip extract group; PPARγ, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
