Figure 4From: Acute stress show great influences on liver function and the expression of hepatic genes associated with lipid metabolism in ratsAcute stress affects lipid metabolism was associated with the inhibition of ABCG5, ABCG8 and SR-BI. A: The expression pattern of messenger RNA (mRNA) of ABCG5, ABCG8 and SR-BI in the liver measured with quantitative polymerase chain reaction. B: Western blots illustrate acute stress decreased ABCG5 and ABCG8, while increased SR-BI. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 8). ▲P<0.05 and ▲▲P<0.01 versus the normal group, t-test, (ABCG5: t = 3.597; ABCG8: t = 2.61; SR-BI: t = −9.335).Back to article page
