Genetic factors govern susceptibility to alcohol-induced liver injury, steatosis, and insulin resistance. Fisher 344 (Fisher), Long Evans (LE), and Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were fed with control or ethanol containing liquid diets for eight weeks, and then (A) serum was obtained to measure to measure alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and livers were harvested to assess (B) lipid content using the Nile Red assay, (C) triglycerides, and (D) insulin receptor binding.
