Figure 5

Relative expression of PGC-1α (top row), GLUT4 (middle row) and Irisin (bottom row) following treatment with DMSO control (final concentration 0.1%), combination omega 3 at 50 μM, or CLA at 25 μM or 50 μM for either 24 hours (left), 48 hours with repeated treatment at 24 hours (center), or single treatment for 48 hours (right) with control = 1. A- PGC-1α expression following treatment for 24 hours. B- PGC-1α expression following repeated treatment for 48 hours. C- PGC-1α expression following treatment for 48 hours. D- GLUT4 expression following treatment for 24 hours. E- GLUT4 expression following repeated treatment for 48 hours. F- GLUT4 expression following treatment for 48 hours. G- Irisin expression following treatment for 24 hours. H- Irisin expression following repeated treatment for 48 hours. I- Irisin expression following treatment for 48 hours. NOTES: * indicates p < 0.05, ** indicates p < 0.01, and *** indicates p < 0.001 compared with control. Polyunsaturated fatty acids modify metabolic gene expression.
