Fig. 4. Results of haematology and biochemistry assays. The blood tests were performed with a Synchron CX5 clinical system. The level of total protein (TP), globulin (GLO), albumin (ALB), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and ratio of ALB/GLO are shown in (A)–(C). (D) and (E) show the results of total cholesterol (CH) and triglycerides (TG); the CH and TG values are significantly higher in the OGDH^+/− rats fed a HFD than in the WT rats fed a HFD. (F) Shows higher values of blood glucose (GLU) in the OGDH^+/− rats than in the WT rats, and the difference is even greater on a HFD. (n = 12 separate animals, *P < 0.05, and **P < 0.01).
