Figure 5.
Effect of oral OA on expression of bile acid synthesis and transport genes. Mice were gavaged OA at doses of 100–3,000 µmol/kg (equal to 45–1,350 mg/kg). Twenty-four hours after the last dose, Livers were collected to isolate total RNA. The expression of hepatic transport genes were determined by real-time RT-PCR as detailed in the Methods. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 5–8).*Significantly different from control, p < 0.05.
