Figure 3.
Effects on fatty acid synthesis of MetS rats (MS, n = 10), rats fed with wheat control diet (WC, n = 10), wheat and oat control diet (OC, n = 10), A snack (SA, n = 10), and B snack (SB, n = 10). (A) Fatty acid synthesis involved genes mRNA levels, (B) FAS activity and (C) PK activity. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. Values not sharing a common letter are significantly different (p < 0.05). In the case of cherb gene expression, p value for the comparison between MS, OC and SA is p < 0.01.
