Figure 3: Beneficial effects of β-conglycinin in wild-type (WT) or PPARα-deficient (KO) mice.

From: Single ingestion of soy β-conglycinin induces increased postprandial circulating FGF21 levels exerting beneficial health effects

Figure 3

(a) Seven-week old male WT and PPARα KO mice were acclimated to the casein high-fat diet for 7 days, and then fed with either the casein or β-conglycinin (β-con) diet for 4 weeks. Expression levels of FGF21 mRNA in the liver are normalized to cyclophilin mRNA levels and are shown as fold induction to expression levels in the casein group of WT mice. Serum FGF21 concentrations are shown. All data are expressed as means ± SD (n = 5–6). **P < 0.01 determined by two-tailed Student’s t-test. (b) Body weight of mice. (c) Liver weight. (d) Epidydimal WAT weight. (e) Serum glucose concentrations. (f) Serum TG concentrations. (g) Serum total cholesterol concentrations.
