Effects of oral administration of BAA6 or AKK on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression and mitochondrial biogenesis of epididymal adipose tissues in HFD-fed mice. (A) mRNA expression levels of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNos), (B) peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (Pgc-1α), and (C) nuclear respiratory factor-1 (Nrf-1) and protein expression levels of (D) eNOS, (E) PGC-1α, and (F) NRF-1 following daily treatment with 109 CFU/kg BAA6 or AKK. Values are expressed as means ± SD (n = 6). Bars with different lowercase letters denote significant differences among groups (p < 0.05).
