Physical activity prevents acute liver injury from GalN/LPS. (a) Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), (b) aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and (c) cellular-free DNA (cfDNA) measured in mice after voluntary wheel running (VWR; n=14) and in the sedentary group (SED; n=14) and 5 h after i.p. injection with GalN/LPS (each group VWR and SED n=14). Data are means±S.E.M. (d) Representative hematoxylin and eosin-stained liver sections from mice in the sedentary (SED) and voluntary wheel running (VWR) group following treatment with or without GaIN/LPS (magnification each × 400). Inflammatory cell aggregates (black arrow) and necrotic hepatocytes (white arrow) are denoted. (e) Activation of caspase 3 in the voluntary wheel running (VWR) and sedentary (SED) groups following GaIN/LPS treatment. A representative blot and densitometric analysis are provided
