Compared with the obese model group, quinoa can reduce the expression of mRNA associated with ER stress in the liver. Representative western blot images and the analyses of GRP78 (A), eIF2α (B), and CHOP (C). Values are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6). ##P < 0.01 versus obese group. **P < 0.01 versus control group. eIF2α: eukaryotic initiation factor-2 alpha; GRP78: glucose-regulated protein 78; CHOP: C/EBP homology protein
