Figure 1 Hepatic microsomal total DGAT activity and free fatty acid concentration in the nephrotic (NS) and normal control (CTL) groups. DGAT activity is presented as nmol of trioleoylglycerol/mg protein/hour. N = 6 in each group, *P < 0.05.

Figure 2 Mean normalized DGAT-1 gene expression and DGAT-1 activity in the liver of nephrotic (NS) and normal control (CTL) groups. 18s rRNA was used as reference for DGAT-1 gene expression. N = 6 in each group, *P < 0.05. Kidney International 2004 66, 262-267DOI: (10.1111/j.1523-1755.2004.00724.x) Copyright © 2004 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions
Figure 3 Mean normalized DGAT-2 gene expression and DGAT-2 activity in the liver of nephrotic (NS) and normal control (CTL) groups. 18s rRNA was used as reference for DGAT-2 gene expression.
