Effects of 1,25 (OH) 2D3 on the expression of hepatic PPAR-α and the related genes CPT-1. The mRNA expression of hepatic PPAR-α and related genes were assessed. The relative mRNA levels were determined by quantitative RT-PCR and normalized to β-actin. Each gene expression was determined by the 2-ΔΔCt method. (A) The mRNA level of hepatic PPAR-α. (B) The mRNA level of CPT-1. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of each group (n = 15 per group). NC, normal control group; DM, diabetic group; VD, vitamin D treatment group. *P < 0 .05 vs. NC; #P < 0 .05 vs. DM.
