Figure 2. Mlk3−/− mice are protected against high fat high carbohydrate (HFHC) diet-induced hepatic steatosis.

Figure 2

(A) Fixed liver tissues from wild type (WT) and mixed lineage kinase (Mlk3)−/− mice on chow and HFHC diet were stained with hematoxylin & eosin (H&E). (B) The scores for steatosis (0 to 3) were assessed by a pathologist blinded to the identity of the mice; average steatosis scores for the WT and Mlk3−/− mice on HFHC diet are indicated in the graph. (C) Concentration of neutral triglycerides (TG) was measured by photometric absorbance based technique in the liver tissue of WT and Mlk3−/− mice on chow and HFHC diet. Data represent the mean ± SEM; *p < 0.05 and ***p < 0.001.
