Research Abstract |
This study investigated the expression profile of IGF-related genes in the liver of female rats with differential food intake with or without Lepidium Meyenii root by using DNA microarray. The expression of IGF-related genes presented in changes within ±50%. Uniquely, there was an 8.5-fold increase in IGFBP-2 mRNA expression. These results show that Lepidium Meyenii root may specifically induce the IGFBP-2 gene expression in rat liver.
