Effect of CLA on gene expression of markers of endoplasmic reticulum stress in gastrocnemius muscle. a In Exp1, mice were fed a standard-fat diet and received a daily dose of CLA equivalent to 3 mg CLA/animal in CLA1 group and 6 mg/animal in CLA2 group for 37 days. b In Exp2, mice were fed a high-fat diet and received a daily dose of CLA equivalent to 3 mg CLA/animal in CLA3 group and 6 mg/animal in CLA4 group for the first 30 days and 6 mg CLA/animal in CLA3 group and 12 mg/animal in CLA4 group for the additional 35 days of treatment. Data are mean ± SEM of 7–12 mice in Exp1 and 8 mice in Exp2. Mean values with unlike letters are significantly different (P < 0.05); ANOVA followed by LSD test
