From: Dietary supplementation with hybrid palm oil alters liver function in the common Marmoset
Hepatic volume of experimental animals at the beginning and at the end of the study. (n = 10 animals per group). AP: African Palm Group; HP: Hybrid Palm Group. (A) Liver volume expressed in cm3. (B) Liver volume corrected by body weight. Values are expressed as mean ± standard error. *Indicates statistical significance at p < 0.05 and ** at p < 0.02. (C) Scanner images of marmosets fed with either AP or HP diet (representative images), both at the beginning and at the end of the nutritional intervention. Images were obtained by PET/CT Scan. (D) Gene expression analysis of fatty acid synthase (FASN) and hepatic nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4A) in liver samples of animals fed with AP or HP. n ≥ 7 per group. (E) Liver histological cross-sections from marmoset fed either AP or HP (Hematoxylin-eosin). Green arrowhead: microvesicular steatosis; red arrowhead: steatosis; yellow stars: inflammatory infiltrate. (F) Photomicrograph of cells with collagen staining (Sirius red). Histological analysis are representative of n = 3 animals per group.
