Dietary Creatine Reduces Lipid Accumulation by Improving Lipid Catabolism in the Herbivorous Grass Carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella
Figure 3
Lipid droplet (LD) accumulation and lipolysis-linked gene expression in grass carp hepatocytes following treatment with different concentrations of creatine for 24 h. Data shown as (shown as error bars; ). The average in each panel with absent common letter is statistically significant (; ANOVA). (a) BODIPY staining of grass carp hepatocytes, green dots represent LDs; blue dots represent the nucleus. (b) Number of LDs per cells. (c) Lipolysis-related gene expression. pparα: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α; atgl: adipose triglyceride lipase; hsl: hormone-sensitive lipase.
