Figure 5. Hepatic lipid oxidative stress gene expression.

Figure 5.

The quantification of selected liver mRNAs was performed using QuantiGene 2.0 Plex Assay kit with purified RNA. The fluorescence intensity (FI; minus background) for each gene was normalized to the housekeeping gene β-actin. Fold change was calculated between the control SD mice. A) PFOS treatment induces expression of genes related to detoxification and antioxidant response. B) Only in the H-SD diet, PFOS induces expression of interleukin 6 (Il-6) and colony stimulating factor 2 receptor α (Csf2ra). Calculations were done using a one-way ANOVA followed by Fisher’s LSD test. All values are means ± SEM; N = 5. * indicates p<0.05 versus control SD, indicates p<0.05 for H-SD versus HFD, # indicates p<0.05 versus respective diet controls, † indicates p<0.05 for H-SD+PFOS versus SD+PFOS, and ҂ indicates p<0.05 for H-SD+PFOS versus HFD+PFOS.
