Effects of dietary Clostridium butyricum (CB) and rumen protected fat (RPF) on lipid-metabolic genes expression in Longissimus thoracis of goats. A ACC (acetyl-CoA carboxylase); B FAS (fatty acid synthase); C LPL (lipoprotein lipase); D SREBP-1(sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factor 1); E SCD (stearoyl-CoA desaturase); F C/EBPα (CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha); G HSL (hormone-sensitive lipase); H CPT1B (carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1B); I PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ). The mRNA expressions were normalized to β-actin gene expression. All values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 8). ^a,b Means within a row with different superscript letters are significantly different (P < 0.05)
