Fig. 3From: The polyphenol-rich extract from chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa L.) modulates gut microbiota and improves lipid metabolism in diet-induced obese ratsCBPs changes serum BAs pool and composition and regulating the mRNA expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism, energy homeostasis and thermogenesis. a Serum BAs pool absolute contents and b Serum BAs pool relative contents in HF, AM and SV group rat at day 10, day 20, day 30, day 40 after diet intervention. c-f The mRNA expression of genes in liver, epididymal adipose tissue (eWAT), inguinal adipose tissue (iWAT) and interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) were determined by RT- PCR analysis. and relative gene pressions were normalized with β-actin. Values are presented as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ns P > 0.05Back to article page
