Dietary Creatine Reduces Lipid Accumulation by Improving Lipid Catabolism in the Herbivorous Grass Carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella

Figure 2

The outcome of a high-fat diet supplemented with creatine on the lipid catabolism-related gene expression (a) and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex expression (b) in the juvenile grass carp hepatopancreas. Data shown as (shown as error bars; ). The average in each panel with absent common letter is statistically significant (; ANOVA). ND: normal diet; HFD: high-fat diet; : HFD supplemented with 1% creatine; : HFD supplemented with 2% creatine; pparα: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α; atgl: adipose triglyceride lipase; hsl: hormone-sensitive lipase; cpt-1: carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1; COX: mitochondrial complex.
