Fig 4

(A) The relative expression levels of genes involved in lipid metabolism and in cholesterol biosynthesis in livers. (B) The relative expression levels of fibroblast growth factor 21-related genes in livers. Cpt1b, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1b; HL, hepatic lipase; Insig1, insulin-induced gene 1; Insig2, insulin-induced gene 2; FGF21, fibroblast growth factor 21; Klb, β-klotho; FGFR2, fibroblast growth factor receptor 2; LFD, mice fed low-fat diet; LFDJ, mice fed low-fat diet with supplementation of WPJ; HFD, mice fed high-fat diet; HFDJ, mice fed high-fat diet with supplementation of WPJ. Values are presented as means ±SEM. Data not sharing a common superscript differ significantly among groups (p<0.05, ANOVA).
