UPR was determined in livers of A-D) C57BL/6J or Mif-/- as well as E-H) C57BL/6J mice treated with MIF098 or VEH at 6h and 9h after Gao-Binge. A,C,E,G) Phosphorylation of eIF2α, expression of CHOP and GRP78 were determined by western blot and normalized to β-Actin as a loading control at the indicated times. B,D,F,H) Expression of spliced XBP-1, CHOP, Grp78, Dr5, and FGF21 mRNA was determined by qRT-PCR and normalized to 18S RNA and represented as fold change over pair-fed controls at the indicated times. Values are means ± SEM. Values with different superscripts are significantly different, p<0.05, # - p<0.05 vs pair-fed.
