Impact of the three cereal fractions on lipid accumulation in the liver. Histochemical detection of neutral lipids of the liver sections (a), lipid area (% versus total area) (b) and lipid content of the liver (c) of mice fed a control diet (CT), a western diet (WD), a WD supplemented with 5% of wheat bran (WD+WB), a WD supplemented with 5% of wheat bran with reduced particle size (WD+WBs) or a WD supplemented with 5% of AXOS (WD+AXOS) for 8 weeks (scale bar = 100 μm). Results are expressed as mean±SEM (n = 7–9). Data with different superscript letters are significantly different at p < 0.05 (ANOVA).
