Effects of dietary proteins on hepatic activities of lipogenesis enzymes. Hepatic activities of fatty acid synthase (A), glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (B) and malate dehydrogenase (C) in 7-week-old male Wistar rats fed cholesterol-enriched diets for 2 weeks. Values are means ± SEM (n = 6). Bars for each value with * were significantly different from CAS (P < 0.05). CAS, casein; FAS, fatty acid synthase; G6PD, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase; MDH, malate dehydrogenase; RP-A, rice protein extracted by alkaline treatment; RP-E, rice protein extracted by α-amylase.
