Liver weight and steatosis in C57BL/6J and L-Fabp^−/− mice fed high-SF diet. A: osmium tetroxide-stained liver tissue from mice fed SF for 15 wk. Representative fields were photographed at ×200 magnification. B: hepatic TG content in high-SF diet-fed mice, expressed as μg TG per mg protein. *Hepatic TG is reduced in WU L-Fabp^−/− mice compared with C57BL/6J and NJ L-Fabp^−/− mice. n = 9–10 mice/genotype. C: hepatic TG expressed as mg TG per liver, to correct for differences in liver mass. Values are means ± SE. D: correlation between final body weight and hepatic TG content. Overall correlation coefficient is 0.798. Correlation of individual groups is as follows: C57BL/6J, 0.801; NJ L-Fabp^−/− mice, 0.684; WU L-Fabp^−/− mice, 0.709. NJ Fabp^−/− mice for this experiment are F1; WU Fabp^−/− mice (2014) are N8, F14-15.
