Effects of TRPV1 receptor antagonist and capsaicin on protein (A,B) and mRNA (C) expression levels of key genes for glycometabolism in liver of STZ-induced diabetic rats. All data are expressed as means ± SD, n = 8. *Means are significant difference compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Means with different superscript letters are significantly different among the diabetes groups (P < 0.05). G6pase, glucose 6 phosphatase; GLUT2, glucose transporter 2; PEPCK, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase; TRPV1, transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1; LXR, liver X receptor; PDX-1, pancreatic duodenal homeobox 1; GK, glucokinase. Effective concentrations of capsaicin and capsazepine are 6 and 10 mg/kg·BW, respectively.
