mRNA expression of genes related to lipid metabolism in liver and adipose tissue of the experimental mice. M. alba extract (400 mg/kg bw), A. melanocarpa extract (400 mg/kg bw), or mixture of these two extracts was orally administered to experimental mice fed a high-fat diet for 14 weeks. (A) Relative mRNA expression in liver, (B) relative mRNA expression in adipose tissue. ND, normal diet, HD, high-fat diet, MA, high-fat diet + M. alba 400 mg/kg bw, AR, high-fat diet + A. melanocarpa 400 mg/kg bw, MA + AR, high-fat diet + mixture of M. alba and A. melanocarpa (400 mg/kg bw). Results are expressed as means ± S.D (n = 10). Means with different superscript letters (a, b, c, d) are significantly different from each other by Duncan’s test of ANOVA at p < 0.05. “a” denotes the highest value and “d” represents the lowest value.
