Triglyceride, MDA, and TEAC Measurements in Liver Tissue

	Control Chow (n = 15)	Fructose Group (n = 9)	Atherogenic Diet Group (n = 13)	M-Ath Diet Group (n = 7)
Triglycerides (μg/mg protein)	47 ± 3	56 ± 9	98 ± 19^*	110 ± 19^*,†
MDA (nmol/pg)	0.27 ± 0.05	0.51 ± 0.11	0.48 ± 0.06^*	0.56 ± 0.08^*
TEAC (μmol/mg protein)	0.27 ± 0.004	0.30 ± 0.01^*	0.31 ± 0.01^*	0.33 ± 0.01^*
MDA/TEAC	1.01 ± 0.19	1.74 ± 0.41	1.55 ± 0.18^*	1.67 ± 0.21^*

Values represent means (standard error).

P < 0.05 when compared with control chow group,

^‡

P < 0.05 when compared with fructose group.

MDA, malondialdehyde; TEAC, Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity.
