Changes in CPT1 activity and CPT1α mRNA expression levels in rat liver tissues. Relative mitochondrial CPT1 activity levels in the liver tissues of the rats were determined at 24 h post burn, and the control group was assigned a value of 1 (A) Relative mRNA and protein expression levels of CPT1 a-chain in the rat liver tissues was assessed via RT-PCR (B) and western blotting (C), respectively. Data are presented as means ± SD, n = 6 rats. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; and ***, P < 0.001 versus the control group; #, P < 0.05; ##, P < 0.01; and ###, P < 0.001 versus the burn group
