Gene expression of Cebpb (A), Srebp1c (B), Pparg (C), Cebpa (D), Acc (E) and Adipoq (F) in 3T3-L1 maturing pre-adipocytes treated with 150 µg/mL of Chlorella vulgaris (CV), Microchloropsis gaditana (MG) and Gracilaria vermiculophylla (GV) from day 0 to day 8 (cells harvested on day 8). Control cells were not treated with the algae extracts. Data are mean ± SEM (standard error of the mean). Student’s t-test was used for the analysis of comparisons between each treatment and the control group. **P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001. Acc: acetyl-CoA carboxylase; Adipoq: adiponectin; Cebpa; CCAAT/enhancer binding protein ; Cebpb: CCAAT/enhancer binding protein ; Pparg: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ; Srebp1c: sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1c.
