Hepatic accumulation of branched-chain, nonbranched, and total fatty acids in WT and TKO mice fed dietary phytol. Female (A, C, E) and male (B, D, F) WT (open bars) and Fabp1/Scp-2/Scp-x-null (TKO) (black bars) mice were fed control or 0.5% phytol-supplemented chow as described in the Materials and Methods. Hepatic levels of branched-chain FA (A, B), FA (non-branched) (C, D), and total FA (E, F) were determined as described in the Materials and Methods. Values represent the mean nanomoles if fatty acid per milligrams total liver protein ± SE (n = 4–6); ND, not detected; *P ≤ 0.05 versus WT on control-diet; $P ≤ 0.05 versus TKO on control-diet; @P ≤ 0.05 versus WT on phytol-diet.
