A semi-quantitation RT-PCR method to examine the influence of garlicin on HMG-CoAR,ACC and FAS mRNA expression in chicken livers
The effects of garlicin on mRNA expression of HMG-CoAR, ACC and FAS, which were related to lipid metabolism in chicken livers were studied by a semi-quantitation RT-PCR method. The results showed that the mRNA expressions of HMG-CoAR, ACC and FAS in chicken livers were inhibited by garlicin, decreased by 80.8%, 74.2%, and 64.1% respectively.
