PDX stimulates fatty acid oxidation-associated gene expression. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of CPT1, ACO, FABP3 mRNA expression in (A) AMPK (20 nM) or (B) PPARα siRNA (20 nM)-transfected C2C12 cells treated with PDX (1 μM) for 24 hr. (C) Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of CPT1, ACO, FABP3 mRNA expression in HFD-fed mice treated with PDX. (D) Intracellular acetyl-CoA and (E) ATP levels in soleus skeletal muscle of HFD-fed mice treated with PDX (1 μg/mouse/day) for 8 weeks (five animals per treatment group). Means ± SEM were obtained from three separated experiments or five animals. *** P < 0.001 and ** P < 0.01 when compared to the control or the ND treatment. !!! P < 0.001, !! P < 0.01, and ! P < 0.05 when compared to the PDX or the HFD treatment.
