Body and liver masses and plasma lipid and protein concentrations in analbuminemic (NAR) and control (SDR) rats.
| SDR | NAR | |
|---|---|---|
| Body Mass (g) |
285.8 ± 24.8 N = 9 |
216.4 ± 8.7* N = 9 |
| Liver Mass (g/100 g) |
3.4 ± 0.2 N = 9 |
5.5 ± 0.4* N = 9 |
| Plasma Proteins (g/L) |
59.3 ± 8.0 N = 4 |
55.7 ± 3.3 N = 4 |
| Triglycerides (mg/dL) |
62.2 ± 20.1 N = 10 |
316.8 ± 99.8* N = 10 |
| Cholesterol (mg/dL) |
72.6 ± 15.5 N = 10 |
189.2 ± 22.8* N = 10 |
| FFA (mEq/L) |
1.53 ± 0,22 N = 8 |
0.48 ± 0,06* N = 8 |
Mean ± SD. *P ≤ 0.05 vs. SDR. Female Nagase rats (NAR) and Sprague-Dawley rats (SDR) were paired by age (12 to 14 weeks old). Liver mass expressed as gram per 100 g of total body mass. FFA: free fatty acids.
