From: Change in mRNA expression of sirtuin 1 and sirtuin 3 in cats fed on high fat diet

Figure 4

Effect of a high-fat diet on mRNA levels of cat sirtuin (SIRT)1 and SIRT3. Prior to the 8-week feeding period (Baseline) and the conclusion of the 8-week feeding schedule (Endpoint), SIRT1 (a; white box bars) and SIRT3 (b; black box bars) mRNA expression levels in peripheral blood leucocytes were determined by the quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay. Each SIRT1 and SIRT3 value was normalized to that of beta-actin mRNA and the mean ± standard error of mean (n = 5) for an individual RNA sample. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s paired t-test; *P < 0.05.
