From: Dietary short-chain fatty acid intake improves the hepatic metabolic condition via FFAR3
Dietary short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) intake improves hepatic metabolic conditions. Plasma triglycerides, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs), and total cholesterol concentrations (A), hepatic triglyceride contents and histology of hepatocytes based on hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) oil red O stanning. Scale bar, 50 μm (B), and mRNA expression levels of hepatic energy metabolism-related genes (C) measured after 4 weeks of normal chow (NC) or high-fat diet (HFD) feeding supplemented with 5% SCFAs. All data are presented as the means ± SEM (n = 8). Dunnett’s test; ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, and *P < 0.05, compared with HFD.
