Diet high in fructose leads to an overexpression of lipocalin-2 in rat fatty liver

Figure 1 Phenotypes of the animals and daily food intake. Linear graph shows the average of animals’ caloric intake (A) at weeks 0, 4 and 8 of the treatment (food intake was expressed as cal/100 g BW/d) and animals’ body weight (BW; B). Bar blots show liver weight (LW; C) and relative liver weight (RLW; D). Data are presented as mean ± SEM of 4 rats per group in correspondence to time points. Indicates statistically significant difference ^bP < 0.01 via one-way ANOVA. Standard chow pellets (Co), a fresh-prepared Lieber-DeCarli (LDC) liquid diet, and LDC combined with 70% cal fructose (L-HFr).
