cDNA was prepared from total RNA and used for gene expression by real-time quantitative RTPCR (qPCR) as described [53] using TaqMan Gene Expression Assays (ThermoFischer Scientific) specific for human GCLC (Hs00155249_m1), OCT4 (Hs00999632_g1), and ACTB (Hs01060665_g1)
Blocked and permeabilized sections were then incubated overnight at room temperature with rabbit anti-GABA A R-1 (1:500, EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA, catalog# 06868)
When carnitine is added, there is no statistically significant change in any of these levels (as indicated by P values greater than 0.05)
The blend combines clinically-studied ingredients such as hops, inulin, resveratrol, and berberine which has been shown to support modest weight loss between 5% and 7% of body weight, according to some research
