Figure 7. Effects of ad libitum feeding and L-FABP gene-ablation on key enzymes involved in hepatic peroxisomal oxidation of fatty acids.

Figure 7

After termination of the 12 wk dietary study, livers from L-FABP (+/+) and L-FABP (−/−) mice ad libitum-fed control or high-fat diets were harvested and expression of the key peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation enzymes was measured by western blotting as described in Methods. The effect of L-FABP gene-ablation on (AD) ACOX1, (B) SCP-x, and (C) p-thiolase was examined. Representative western blots were included of each respective protein (lower lane) and normalization protein (upper lane). Values represent the mean ± SEM, n=5–8 in relative units of integrated density. Statistical analysis performed by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-tests. The significance was as follows: * p ≤0.05 as compared to L-FABP (+/+) control diet; # as compared to L-FABP (−/−) control diet; and $ as compared to L-FABP (+/+) high-fat diet.
