(1)LPHF: weekly intraperitoneal injection of adriamycin (2 mg/kg BW) for 6 weeks thereafter a 7% protein and 40% fat diet for five weeks.
(2)HPLF: weekly intraperitoneal injection of adriamycin (2 mg/kg BW) for 6 weeks thereafter a 30% protein and 7% fat diet for five weeks.
No statistical difference between the LPHF and HPLF groups by Student's t-test at P < .05.
