(a) Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of obesity-related genes [glucose transporter type 4 (Glut4), adiponectin, and sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBP1)] of untreated (UT) mice and mice fed 0.08 ml/kg body weight (BW) coconut water vinegar (CL) or 2 ml/kg BW coconut water vinegar (CH). (b) Significant adipokines down-regulated by coconut water vinegar treatment in high-fat-diet obese mice tested using adipokine proteome profiler analysis. RBP4, retinol-binding protein-4. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of biological replicates of mice from the same treatment group. Different letters indicate significant differences among groups (p < 0.05).
