Hepatic lipogenic enzyme gene expression and lipid content.

<p>(A), Relative expression levels of mRNAs encoding ME1 and FASN in the livers of WT and MOD-1 mice of the two diet groups. Data are mean ± SEM of fold change in normalized expression (n = 7 mice/group), relative to WT mice fed CAS-HF diet. (B), Lipid droplet quantity after Oil Red O staining of livers from WT and MOD-1 mice of the two diet groups (n = 3 mice/group). Lowercase letters (a, b) indicate significant differences (P < 0.05). (C), Representative images of liver tissues stained with Oil Red O, scale bar: 100 µm.
