Green tea polyphenols alter lipid metabolism in the livers of broiler chickens through increased phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase
Fig 3
Effects of GTPs on lipid-related enzyme activities in the liver.
Broilers were treated with vehicle (distilled water), 80 mg/kg GTPs, or 160 mg/kg GTPs for 2 or 4 weeks: A, fatty acid synthase (FASN); B, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACACA); C, carnitine palmitoyl transferase I (CPT1A); and D, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Values are represented as the means ± SEM (n = 6). Statistical significance was determined by ANOVA with Duncan's multiple-range test, with * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001 representing significant differences compared with control.
