From: Crocin ameliorates hepatic steatosis through activation of AMPK signaling in db/db mice
Effects of crocin on lipogenesis and β-oxidation of fatty acids in liver in db/db mice. mRNA expression of Srebp-1c (a), FAS (b), SCD1 (c), PPARγ (d), DGAT1 (e), PPARα (f), Acox1 (g), Cpt1 (h), and Hmgcs2 (i) in liver tissue were determined using real-time qPCR (n = 6). (J) Protein expression of Srebp-1 and PPARα was determined using western blot and statistical analysis was performed (n = 3). The significance of differences among groups was assessed by one-way ANOVA analysis followed by Dunnett’s test. # p < 0.05, indicates statistical significance between the two groups
