Figure 6. Lipid profile in plasma and ascitic fluid from lean and obese rats with acute pancreatitis.

Figure 6

Concentration of triacylgricerides (TAG) and free fatty acids (FFA) in plasma (A,C) and ascitic fluid (B,D) in lean and obese (Zucker) rats at 0, 1 and 6 hours after induction of acute pancreatitis. The number of rats per group was 8 for determinations in plasma from lean and obese rats at 0 or 6 h and in ascitic fluid from obese rats at 6 h; 4 for determinations in plasma from lean and obese rats at 1 h and in ascitic fluid from lean rats at 6 h. The statistical difference is indicated as follows: * P<0.05 and ** P<0.01 vs. time “0”. # P<0.05 and ## P<0.01 obese vs. lean in the same conditions. † P<0.05 and †† P<0.01 obese 6 h vs. obese 1 h.
