Characterization of liver in HFD-fed E-CNP Tg mice. (a and b) The liver weight of Wt and E-CNP Tg mice fed (a) STD and (b) HFD. (c) Liver sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Scale bar, 50 μm. (d) Triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) content in liver. The expression of genes related to (e) lipogenesis and (f) fatty acid β-oxidation and of (g) pro-inflammatory genes in liver was measured by using qPCR analysis. n = 10 (a and b); n = 6 (c); n = 9 (d); n = 10 (e–g); *P < 0.05.
