Effects of strawberry dried methanolic extract on p-ACC, ACC, r-LDL, PGC-1α, and HMGCR expression. HepG2 cells were treated with the indicated concentrations for 24 h. The protein signals were detected by a Lycor C-Digit Blot Scanner and quantification was made using the software Image Studio 3. Values are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments (n = 3) and normalized to the GADPH signal. Different superscripts letters between different strawberry dried methanolic extract concentrations for each assayed protein indicate statistical significance (p < 0.05). p-ACC: phosphorylated acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase; ACC: acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase; PGC-1α: peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha; HMGCR: 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase; r-LDL: low density lipoprotein receptor; GADPH: glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
