Myocardial TAG content and blood analyses. Tissue TAG content remained similar to 5-month baseline control levels in the 22-month control and HLSO groups, but was elevated by the lard diet (P < 0.05) (A). Plasma glucose levels were unchanged by HF or diet (B), but plasma insulin was lower in the 22-month HLSO group vs. 5- and 22-month controls (C). Plasma leptin was slightly elevated in all 22-month groups vs. baseline, but was unaffected by diet (D). Serum arachidonic (AA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and several products of the n-6 PUFA lipoxygenase pathways were elevated in 22-month groups vs. 5-month control, and were dramatically elevated by the HLSO diet (E; see text for details). Data are means ± SEM (n = 8/group). Dashed bars represent the mean values of 5-month baseline values (n = 6). *P < 0.05 vs. 5-month baseline; †P < 0.05 vs. Con; ‡P < 0.05 vs. all groups.
