Fig. 1From: Fast food diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease exerts early protective effect against acetaminophen intoxication in miceManifestation of the NAFLD characteristics. (A) Changes in the body weight over time in mice fed the NC and FF diets (12–16 mice per group) are presented as mean ± SEM. (B) Plasma ALT levels at 6 h after saline injection in mice in the NC-S and FF-S groups; each bar represents mean ± SEM value of 6–8 mice per group. (C) H&E-stained liver sections of mice in the (a) NC-S and (b) FF-S groups. (b); magnification, ×200. The total hepatic triglyceride levels were plotted. (D) Relative mRNA levels of genes encoding hepatic markers in mice in the NC-S and FF-S groups. RT-qPCR was performed to determine the mRNA expression. Data are presented as mean ± SD values obtained over measurements carried out thrice by pooling 6–8 mice per group. Relative values were compared with the mean value obtained for mice in the NC-S group. ALT, alanine transaminase. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01Back to article page
