Lipid metabolism, ketogenesis, and glycogen content in the liver. Serum concentrations of (A) triglycerides (TG), (B) non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA), (C) 3-OHBA concentrations were shown. (D) Fsn, (E) Acd11, (F) HMGC2 mRNA expressions in the liver. (G) Glycogen content in the liver. Data are presented as means ± SEM. n=6, each group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001. White bars, normal-carbohydrate diet (NC); hatched white bars, low-carbohydrate diet (LC); grey bars, NC+Ipra; hatched gray bars, LC+Ipra. NN: non-diabetic mouse.
