Colonic mRNA level coding for host peptides in the colon. Gcg coding for glucagon-like peptides (GLP-1, GLP-2) (a), Pyy coding for peptide YY (b), Muc2 coding for mucin 2 (c) and Pla2g2a coding for phospholipase A2 group II (d). Ob/ob mice were fed a standard diet supplemented with or without berberine or curcumin for 4 weeks (n = 9 for each group). * p < 0.05 for berberine or curcumin effect (two-way ANOVA). Data with different superscript letters are significantly different at p < 0.05 (Tukey post-hoc test).
