From: Niacin supplementation induces type II to type I muscle fiber transition in skeletal muscle of sheep
Relative mRNA levels of PPARGC1A, PPARGC1B and PPARD (A), and relative protein levels of PGC-1α and PPARδ (B) in LD muscle, SM muscle, and ST muscle of sheep administered either no (control group) or 1 g niacin per day (niacin group) for 4 wk. Bars represent means ± SD, n = 8 (mRNA) and 6 (protein) sheep/group. Representative immunoblots specific to PGC-1α, PPARδ and GAPDH as internal control are shown for one animal per group; immunoblots for the other animals revealed similar results. *different from control group, P < 0.05, #different from control group, P < 0.15.
