Figure 5. Changes in hepatic expression of triglycerides metabolism genes in RORγ knockout mice. Total mRNA from the livers of WT and KO mice were used to determine the expression of triglycerides metabolism genes. Relative changes in the mRNA expression were calculated based on the expression of 18 sRNA. Values were plotted as mean ± SD. P values were calculated using two-tailed Student’s t test. *P < 0.05. WT: wild type; KO: knockout; RORγ: retinoic acid-related orphan receptor γ; Dgat1: diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1; Dgat2: diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2; Mgat2: acyl CoA:monoacylglycerol acyltransferase 2; Mttp: microsomal triglyceride transfer protein; Vldlr: very low-density lipoprotein receptor; Ldlr: low-density lipoprotein receptor; Plin1: perilipin 1; Lpl: lipoprotein lipase; Apoc2: apolipoprotein C2
