Expression levels were normalized to cyclophilin expression and values are given as means ± SEM for n = 4-8; # p < 0.05 compared to chow group of the same genotype, $ p < 0.05 compared to HF group of the same genotype (Student t-test). ND, non-detectable.

General linear model analysis revealed overall effects for the following parameters (p < 0.05):

Chow versus HF: aP2, Scd1, Srebp-1c.

Chow versus HF/FO: Fas.

HF versus HF/FO: Fas, Scd1, Srebp-1c.
