Fig. 5From: Rosiglitazone ameliorates palmitic acid-induced cytotoxicity in TM4 Sertoli cellsEffects of RSG on lipid metabolic genes. mRNA expression levels of (a) CPT1A, (d) CPT1B, (e) DGAT1 and (f) DGAT2 were assessed using the reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction method. b Protein expression levels of CPT1A were validated using western blot analysis, and (c) quantified by densitometry. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. **P < 0.01 vs. control group; ##P < 0.01 vs. 0.4 mM-PA group. N.S., not significant; RSG, rosiglitazone; PA, palmitic acid; CPT1A/1B, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A/1B; DGAT1/2, diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1/2Back to article page
