Figure 6

FGFR2 deficiency in adipocytes exerted no comparable effect on starvation-induced fatty liver. (A) Histology of liver tissue from adipocyte-deficient FGFR2 (FGFR2Cn) mice was compared to that from the FGFR1Cn and FGFR2Fx mice in both fed and 48 h starvation states at two magnifications. The enhanced steatotic vacuolization observed in FGFR1Cn mice was not apparent in the FGFR2Cn mouse livers. (B) Quantitation of liver TG content from FGFR2Fx and FGFR2Cn mice. Data are the mean ± SD (n= 10), p<0.05 for all other tests.
