Gene expression profiles determined by real-time RT-PCR analyses of RNA from epididymal fat tissues of rats fed the high-fat control diet (CD) or the mixture-supplemented high-fat diet (CD + M). Results were normalized to β-actin mRNA expression. The mRNA levels of rats fed CD + M were expressed as the fold change compared to CD rats. Values are means ± SEM of duplicate analyses of RNA samples pooled from ten rats
