Expression of genes associated with gluconeogenesis, β-oxidation and ketogenesis in liver. The liver was isolated with or without treadmill exercise in the fed or fasted state. The total RNA was extracted for quantitative real-time PCR. (A) Genes associated with gluconeogenesis. (B) Genes associated with β-oxidation. (C) Genes associated with ketogenesis. G6pc, glucose-6-phosphate catalytic subunit; Pck1, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase; Hmgcs2, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2; Ppara, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor α; Cpt1a/2, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a/2; Mcad, medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase; Lcad, long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase. n = 6. #p < 0.05, ###p < 0.001, main effect for fasting. ††p < 0.01, main effect for exercise. Interaction is indicated with the p-value in the figure if it was statistically significant
