Influence of repeated ingestion of flavan-3-ols on the enzymes in β-oxidation. Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) (a) and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT-2) (b) in gastrocnemius, soleus and liver were measured for 24 h after 2 weeks repeated ingestion of flavan-3-ols by western blotting analysis as described in Materials and Methods. The protein level was expressed the ratio of enzymes to α-tubulin. Values are means and SD of 6 mice. *p < 0.05 vs control group (t test).
