Figure 5. mIl-13 gene delivery prevents high-fat diet-induced fatty liver.

Figure 5

(a) Blood concentration of aspartate aminotransferase; (b) blood concentration of alanine aminotransferase; (c) representative images of liver sections with H&E or Oil-red O staining; (d) liver triglyceride level; and (e) relative mRNA levels of genes involved fat accumulation in the liver. (■) Animals injected with pLIVE-IL13 plasmids and fed an HFD; (□) animals injected with pLIVE-GFP plasmids and fed an HFD; and (■) animals injected with pLIVE-GFP plasmids and fed a regular chow. Data represent mean ± SEM (n=5). * P<0.05 compared with pGFP+HFD mice; # P<0.05 compared with pGFP+chow mice.
