Fig. 4From: Altered liver expression of genes involved in lipid and glucose metabolism in mice with partial IGF-1 deficiency: an experimental approach to metabolic syndromeLiver genes implicated in lipid transport. a Genes related to low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein synthesis: pcsk9 (Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) and lrp1 (Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1); b expression of the genes related to fatty acid transport fabp1 (Fatty acid binding protein 1) and fabp5 (Fatty acid binding protein 5); and c the gene related to triacylglycerol catabolism lpl (Lipoprotein lipase). All determined by RT-qPCR and expressed as relative values compared to controls (fold change). **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05 vs. CO; && p <0.01, & p < 0.05 vs. Hz Back to article page
