(a, b) Western blot analysis of ACL (a) and FAS (b). Relative intensity to β-actin in liver (n=5), (full-length image of representative western blot analysis in Supplementary Fig. S5). (c) Serum β-hydroxy butyrate concentration (n=6). (d) Hepatic fructose content. (e) Hepatic sorbitol content. (f) Serum fructose concentration. (g–i) Western blot analysis of AR (g), KHK (h) and SDH (i). Relative intensity to β-actin in the liver (n=5), (full-length image of representative western blot in Supplementary Fig. S5). Data represent means±s.e.m. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 versus respective water control (analysis of variance, Tukey’s post hoc test); a, P<0.05 versus WT water by Student’s t-test, #P<0.05, ***P<0.001.
