The affect of Jinlida on expression of PGC1α and genes involved in mitochondrial function in skeletal muscle in rats. The mRNA expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, coactivator 1α (PGC1α), nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit IV (COX IV) were examined by quantitative real-time-polymerase chain reaction (A-C); The protein level of PGC1α was detected by Western blotting (D, E). n = 6 per group; *P < 0.05 compared with the HFD group; #P < 0.05 compared with the ND group.
