RAGE deficiency does not affect hepatic steatosis, neutrophil infiltration or macrophage accumulation. (A,B) Representative images of the liver stained with H&E (A; 200x magnification) and hepatic cholesterol and triglyceride levels after 12 weeks of WTD feeding (B). (C) Hepatic inflammation scored (1, 2, 3 or 4) by an experienced pathologist based on lobular inflammation and immune cell numbers after 12 weeks of WTD feeding. (D) Representative photos and quantification of immunohistochemical neutrophil staining (NIMP-R14 antibody; 200x magnification) in the liver after 12 weeks of WTD. (E) Representative images of hepatic macrophage staining (F4/80 antibody; 200x magnification) after 12 weeks of WTD feeding. (F) Total hepatic gene expression levels measured of inflammatory and immune cell specific markers after 12 weeks of WTD feeding. (G) Hepatic GLO-1 activity levels after 12 weeks of WTD feeding. All data are means ± SEM. #P < 0.05, ###P < 0.001 vs WT. n = 11–12. Scalebars 100 µm.
