Expression of several lipogenic genes in the livers of WT and DGAT1-LKO mice. The levels of mRNA expression of several lipogenic enzymes were measured in the liver of WT and DGAT1-LKO mice. There was a significant increase in GPAT1 mRNA relative to WT controls. * P < 0.05. There were no changes in the mRNA expression of other lipogenic genes. Values, in arbitrary units (A.U.), for each gene are expressed relative to the geomean of mRNA expression of two housekeeping genes, L19 and actin B, for five separate liver RNA preparations. ACC1, acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1; GPAT, glycerolphosphate acyltransferase; SCD1, steroyl-CoA decarboxylase 1.
