Fig. 3.
The gene expression levels of zinc transporters in mouse livers. Mice were fed a liquid control diet or ethanol-containing diet for 2, 4, or 8 wk. The gene expression of zinc transporters was measured by qPCR. The expression levels of hepatic ZIP at 2 wk (A), 4 wk (B), and 8 wk (C). Hepatic ZnT mRNA levels at 2 wk (D), 4 wk (E), and 8 wk (F). Significant differences (*P < 0.05) between control- and ethanol-fed mice are determined by Student's t-test.
