Hepatic Non-Sterified Fatty Acids (A) are expressed as mEq/mg protein and refer to means±S.E.M. (n=8). **p<0.01 for CD vs. CH, ***p<0.001 for CD+W vs. CH+W; •••p<0.001 for CD+W vs. CD. Hepatic Triglycerides (B) are expressed as μg/mg and refer to means±S.E.M. (n=8), **p<0.01 for CD vs. CH, ***p<0.001 for CD+W vs. CH+W; •••p<0.001 for CD+W vs. CD. Leptin Expression (C) was evaluated by Western blot analysis. Results are expressed as AU of densitometry under the blots and are average values of n=3 per group. Leptin expression in rats fed the CH diet was assigned a value of 1. ***p<0.001 for CD vs. CH or CD+W vs. CH+W. Hepatic Leptin Expression (D) was assessed by qRT-PCR. Results are expressed as fold-induction over the CH diet which was assigned a value of 1. ***p<0.001 for CD vs. CH or CD+W vs. CH+W. Plasma Leptin Levels (E) are expressed as ng/ml. ***p<0.001 for CD vs. CH or CD+W vs. CH+W. CH: chow diet, CD: choline-deficient diet, W: whiskey.
