Figure 2From: Rice protein improves adiposity, body weight and reduces lipids level in rats through modification of triglyceride metabolismEffects 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.Back to article page
