Figure 2.

The plasma glucose, plasma triglyceride (TG) and hepatic lipid deposition levels of gibel carp fed with HCD and NCD during 8 weeks. (a) Plasma glucose level, (b) plasma TG level, (c) represented images of hepatic oil red O staining (scale bar = 50 μm), (d) quantification of the hepatic oil red O area, and (e) hepatic TG content. Values are expressed as means ± SEMs, n = 6. Labeled means without a common letter differ among 2 W, 4 W, 6 W, and 8 W (lowercase for NCD and uppercase for HCD), P < 0.05 (one-way ANOVA, Duncan's post hoc test).  ^∗,  ^∗∗,  ^∗∗∗,  ^∗∗∗∗Different from NCD:  ^∗P < 0.05,  ^∗∗P < 0.01,  ^∗∗∗P < 0.005, and  ^∗∗∗∗P < 0.001, NS means no significant difference (two-tailed independent t test).
