Moreover, L6 animals exhibited a clear trend toward decreased expression of the β-oxidation-related gene, hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase ( Had ), in the gastrocnemius muscle compared with the L18 group ( p = 0.056, Student’s t -test) (Figure 4A ) and numerically lower carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 beta ( Cpt1 β) gene expression in the soleus muscle compared with L12 animals ( p = 0.068, Student’s t -test) (Figure 3A ).
