Expression analysis of mfat1 gene
Total RNA from four tissues (muscle, liver, lung, and
kidney) was purified using a totalRNAextraction kit. The
reverse-transcription procedurewas 42 Cfor 60 min and
70 C for 5 min. RT-PCR was performed using primers
P1 and P2 and the procedure was described above. The
297 bp beta-actin band was amplified as a control for the
quality of RT-PCR (P3, 50-CCAACCGTGAGAAGAT
GAC-30; P4,50 -TGAGTCACGGACGATTTC-30).
