Puerarin regulates the expression of metabolic genes in Ang II-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. a Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (Cpt1a), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B (Cpt1b), long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (Lcad), and medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (Mcad) in the indicated groups. b Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis of hexokinase 2 (Hk2), pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component subunit alpha (Pdha1), and phosphofructokinase 1 (Pfk1) in cardiomyocytes. Data are presented as the mean ± SD. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA coupled with Tukey’s multiple comparison post hoc test. ^*P < 0.05 vs. Con group; ^#P < 0.05 vs. Ang II group; data are representative of three independent experiments
