Fig. 4. Ad lib access to high fat pellets alters liver morphology, function and calcium ATPase activity.

Fig. 4

(A) Representative images of left lateral lobe harvested from rats allowed ad lib or restricted access to high fat pellets. (B) Weights of left lateral lobe harvested from rats allowed ad lib or restricted access to high fat pellets (mean ± SEM, n=6 rats/group, t-test, P<0.0001, t=13.52, df=10). (C) Table of peripheral markers of liver inflammation and damage (mean ± SEM, n=6 rats/group, t-test, *p<0.05, **p<0.01). (D, E) Western blot analysis of SERCA2b from liver microsomes (15 μg). No significant changes in the expression levels of SERCA 2b (mean ± SEM, n=6 rats/group, t-test, p=0.2375). (F) Ca2+ ATPase activity reflecting SERCA activity in rats allowed ad lib access to high fat pellets (mean ± SEM, n=6 rats/group, t-test, *p=0.0308).
