Fig. 1 Change in rat body weight during the experiment. Total body weight changes of rats fed a C (n = 12), an HF (n = 12), or an HFR (n = 12) for 8 weeks. Values represent group means. No significant changes were found between groups when analyzed by 1-way ANOVA. However, within each individual group, the weight gains were statistically significant when evaluated by paired t test.

Fig. 2 Histopathology. Representative microscopic appearance of liver sections in rats fed a C (n = 12), an HF (n = 12), or an HFR (n = 12) for 8 weeks. In C, minimal steatosis; in HF, extensive periportal small droplet steatosis; and in HFR, essentially no steatosis. Masson trichrome staining, magnification ×400.

Fig. 3 Liver triglyceride content. Liver triglyceride content was determined by ethanolic potassium hydroxide saponification followed by assay for glycerol after an 8-week treatment. C: n = 12, HF: n = 12, HFR: n = 12. Values are group means, with vertical bars indicating SEM. Individual-group comparisons evaluated by Student t test.

Fig. 4 Uncoupling protein 2 mRNA expression. Liver UCP2 mRNA expression relative to 18S mRNA evaluated by reverse transcriptase PCR after an 8-week treatment. C: n = 12, HF: n = 12, HFR: n = 12. Values are group means, with vertical bars indicating SEM. Individual-group comparisons evaluated by Student t test. Nutrition Research , DOI: ( /j.nutres ) Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Fig. 5 Mitochondria content. Liver mitochondria count quantified as relative expression of mitochondrial DNA, D-loop, relative to nonmitochondrial 18S DNA assessed by reverse transcriptase PCR after an 8- week treatment. C: n = 12, HF: n = 12, HFR: n = 12. Values are group means, with vertical bars indicating SEM. Individual-group comparisons evaluated by Student t test.
