Figure 1.

Effects of dietary fiber on hepatic lipid content in mice fed a HFD. Triglyceride and cholesterol levels in liver were measured after lipid extraction as described in the methods. (A) shows liver triglyceride concentration and (B) shows liver cholesterol levels. The results were normalized by protein concentrations.

Notes: Mean ± standard error of the mean (n = 9/group). *P < 0.05, SCF-supplemented group vs HFD-only group; ^#P < 0.05, SCF vs CEL.

Abbreviations: CEL, cellulose; HFD, high-fat diet; PSY, psyllium; SCF, sugar cane fiber.
