Figure 2
Hepatic steatosis and liver function of ACE2 mice. (a) Immunofluorescence staining for adipophilin in the liver; (b) adipophilin quantification (% area/view field); (c) relative liver weight (%); (d) total cholesterol in liver (mg⋅g−1 of liver); (e) triglycerides in liver (mg⋅g−1 of liver); (f) nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) in liver (mmol⋅g−1 of liver); (g) alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in plasma (U⋅L−1); (h) aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in plasma (U⋅L−1) of WT and ACE2 mice at the age of 3 and 6 months. Each bar graph represents the mean ± SEM. Student’s t test: ;; .
