Histological analysis of livers after nutritional intervention. Sections of liver samples stained with H&E for visualization of hepatocytes morphologies and score for steatosis, ballooning and inflammation assessed in rats fed a standard chow (CT/CT, n = 7), high-sucrose diet (HS/HS, n = 6), initially fed a HS diet and then replaced by standard chow (HS/CT, n = 6) and fed a HS diet then replaced by high-protein diet (HS/HP, n = 6). The nutritional intervention started after 20 weeks post weaning and lasted for 12 weeks. Values represent mean ± SEM, compared by one-way ANOVA (Newman Keuls). a represents p < 0.05 when compared to CT/CT, c represents p < 0.05 when compared to HS/CT and d represents p < 0.05 when compared to HS/HP
