Gene expression in small intestine. Quantatative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to determine normalized gene expression levels in small intestine of individual wildtype mice that received the control diet (n = 10, white bars) or EPA&DHA diet (n = 11, black bars). Gene expression levels were normalized using calnexin and averaged per group; the mean expression level of the control group was arbitrarily set at 1. Bars are presented as mean ± standard error. Genes shown (with the mean ratio between the groups shown in parenthesis) are a Acaa1 (2.52), b Acacb (3.91), c Cpt1a (2.79), d Hsd3b (1.91), e Pdk4 (3.24), f Sqle (-1.55). Statistical significance was analyzed using Student's t-test: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01. AU, arbitrary units.
