From: Dietary α-linolenic acid-rich flaxseed oil prevents against alcoholic hepatic steatosis via ameliorating lipid homeostasis at adipose tissue-liver axis in mice

Figure 5

Dietary flaxseed oil improves the dysfunctional lipid metabolism in the liver of alcohol-fed mice.

qPCR analysis of liver genes involved in fatty acid uptake (A) and triglyceride synthesis (B). Immunoblot analysis of genes involved in fatty acid uptake and VLDL export in the liver (C) and their results of the densitometric analysis (D). Values represent the means ± SD (n = 3–4). Labeled means without a common letter are significantly different (P < 0.05). AF/CO, alcohol-fed with corn oil; AF/FO, alcohol-fed with flaxseed oil; ETH, ethanol; PF/CO, pair-fed with corn oil; PF/FO, pair-fed with flaxseed oil.
