Effects of selected LAB treatment on expression of adipogenic genes in C3H10T1/2 cells. The C3H10T1/2 cells were treated with the indicated concentrations during differentiation for 6 days and expression of adipocyte markers was measured. The mRNA expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein-α (C/EBPα), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), fatty acid synthase (FAS), cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36), and acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC) were measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. Significant differences between selected strains (Pediococcus pentosaceus K28, Levilactobacillus brevis RP21 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum RP12) and control are indicated as *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001.
