Figure 4From: High-saturate-fat diet delays initiation of diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatocellular carcinoma HFD predisposes rat to hepatic apoptosis. Hepatic level of caspase-3 was determined by ELISA. Increased hepatic level of caspase-3 was found in the HFD + DEN group (10w: n = 7, 12w: n = 7, 14w: n = 10) than in the NCD + DEN groups (10w: n = 7, 12w: n = 7, 14w: n = 9). *: P <0.05.Back to article page
