Effect of L. plantarum LMT1-48 on the expression of lipogenic genes in the liver of HFD-fed mice. (A) Liver weight and (B) liver triglycerides were measured to assess the influence of L. plantarum LMT1-48 administration in HFD-fed mice (n = 5 mice per group). (C–F) Hepatic mRNA levels of the lipogenic genes (C) PPARγ, (D) HSL, (E) SCD-1, and (F) FAT/CD36 were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Two independent experiments were performed with n = 5 for each experiment. Error bars represent standard error of the mean (Mean ± SEM). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001.
