Quantification of inflammation and KC phenotype after 16 weeks of diet.

<p>Hepatic mRNA level of genes involved in inflammation and in KC phenotype. mRNA levels were normalized to GAPDH expression and fold inductions were calculated. <b>(A)</b> TNFα, IL6. <b>(B)</b> F4/80, CD68, CCL2 and CCR2. <b>(C)</b> NOS2, Arginase and MRC1. Normal diet: ND; ND with fructose: ND/F; high fat diet: HFD; and HFD with fructose: HFD/F. Data represent the mean±SEM of 8 mice (Mann-Whitney, *: p<0.05, **: p<0.01, ***p < 0.001).
