Table 2. Fatty acid composition of liver.
genotype | C16∶0[%] | C16∶1[%] | C18∶0[%] | C18∶1[%] | C18∶2[%] | C18∶3[%] | C20∶4[%] |
C57Bl6 | 29.98±0.62 | 1.20±0.07 | 15.83±0.57 | 13.98±0.95 | 20.38±0.65 | 0.35±0.05 | 18.13±1.06 |
alb-SREBP-1c | 30.33±0.57 | 4.08±0.45** | 12.10±1.45** | 22.60±2.07** | 16.28±2.26** | 0.48±0.04** | 12.68±1.43** |
Fractional content of selected fatty acids. Data are mean ± SD (n = 20). T-test C57Bl6 vs. alb-SREBP-1c: **p<0.01.
The specific composition of total fatty acid was determined by GC analyses in liver tissues of C57Bl6 and alb-SREBP-1c transgenic animals (n = 20 for each). Students t-test was performed to determine significance (C57Bl6 vs. alb-SREBP-1c mice: **p<0.01).
