Effects of egg protein transferrin-derived peptides IRW (lle-Arg-Trp) and IQW (lle-Gln-Trp) on lipid deposition and inflammation of the liver of mice fed an HF diet. (A–G) mRNA expression of DGAT1 (Diacylglycerol O-Acyltransferase (1), DGAT2 (Diacylglycerol O-Acyltransferase (2), Cpt1a (carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A), Acadm (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase medium chain), TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β. (H–J) MDA, triglyceride, and total cholesterol levels. (K–N) Oil red O staining (microscope’s magnification= 100 times) of the CON, HF, HF-IRW, and HF-IQW groups. MDA: malondialdehyde. * indicates p < 0.05 between the HF group and other groups.
