β₃-AR activation upregulates ApoA-I mRNA expression in the supernatant of the HepG2 cell.

Notes: (A–D) RT-PCR analysis of ApoA-I, ApoA-II, ApoB, and β₃-AR performed in the HepG2 cells. Control: HepG2 cells with DMSO treatment; BRL37344: HepG2 cells with 24 h 10⁻⁶ mol/LBRL37344 treatment; SR59230A: HepG2 cells with 10⁻⁶ mol/L SR59230A treatment. Statistically significant differences are indicated (compared with control group, * P<0.01; compared with BRL37344 group, ^§§P<0.01).

Abbreviations: Apo, apolipoprotein; β₃-AR, β3-adrenoceptor; RT-PCR, real-time PCR.
