Liver Nrf2 DNA binding (a) and mRNA expression of Nrf2 (b), GST (c), and GGT (d) in mice subjected to control diet (CD) and high-fat diet (HFD) without (−) and with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), hydroxytyrosol (HT), and EPA + HT supplementation. Values are for 8 animals per experimental group. Groups sharing the same symbol are not significantly different among them according to two-way ANOVA and the Bonferroni posttest (). Nrf2: nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2; GST: glutathione-S-transferase; GGT: γ-glutamyl transpeptidase. ,, and indicate the significant differences between the experimental groups.
