Long-term effects of evodiamine on expressions of lipogenesis and lipolysis genes in mouse adipose and liver tissues

D. F. Jiang, Li, W. T., Yang, H. L., Zhang, Z. Z., Chen, D., and Sun, C., Long-term effects of evodiamine on expressions of lipogenesis and lipolysis genes in mouse adipose and liver tissues, vol. 13, pp. 1038-1046, 2014.

Evodiamine, the major alkaloid component isolated from the fruit of dried, unripened Evodia rutaecarpa Bentham, affects the plasma levels of cholecystokinin and various biological events such as gastric emptying and gastrointestinal transit; these effects of evodiamine were previously investigated in male rats. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of evodiamine on average daily weight gain, rectal temperature, and expressions of genes involved in lipid metabolism in liver and adipose tissues.

Differential expression analysis of porcine MDH1, MDH2 and ME1 genes in adipose tissues

Malate dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (MDH1 and MDH2), and malic enzyme 1 (ME1) play important roles in the Krebs cycle for energy metabolism. The mRNA abundance changes of MDH1, MDH2 and ME1 genes were measured across six different adipose tissues from the leaner Landrace and fatty Rongchang pig breeds using quantitative real-time PCR. The mRNA of MDH1, MDH2 and ME1 was more abundant in fatty Rongchang pigs than in leaner Landrace pigs.
