Figure 5. Relative gene expressions of lipid-related genes.

Figure 5

(A) Genes involved in mitochondrial and peroxisomal β-oxidation (CPT I, ACO, CPT II, FACS and ACAD). (B) Genes involved in gene regulation (PPARs), fatty acid uptake and transport (FATP and FABP) and uncoupling protein (UCP 2). Mean values and standard error (±S.E.M.) are present for each parameter (n = 6). The values of the expression of the target genes are presented as relative to value of low-fat group (set to 1). Data were normalized by β-actin. *, Significantly different from the fish fed control diet: P<0.05. PPAR: peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor; ACO: acyl-CoA oxidase; ACAD: acyl-CoA dehydrogenase; CPT I, II: carnitine palmitoyltransferase I, II; FACS: fatty acyl-CoA synthetase; FATP: fatty acid transport protein; FABP: fatty acid binding protein; UCP 2: uncoupling protein 2.
