Figure 2. High fat diet-induced liver injury and steatosis were exacerbated in RIP3-deficient mice.
(A/B) Male C57BL/6 and RIP3-deficient mice (Strain containing the neomycin cassette (RIP3−/− (neo)); (C/D) Male C57BL/6 and RIP3-deficient mice (with the neomycin cassette deleted (RIP3−/− CREΔ)) and (E/F) Female C57BL/6 and RIP3-deficient mice (RIP3−/− neo) were fed HFD or chow for up to 6 or 12 weeks. (A/C/E) ALT and AST activities were measured in plasma. (B/D/F) Hepatic triglyceride content was measured in whole liver homogenate.
