Effects of the 5PAA and low Arg diets on the liver. Macroscopic liver characteristics (a), hepatic (b) and longissimus muscle (c) TG contents, liver weight (d), and visceral fat weight (e) in 6-week-old male Wistar rats fed the 15PAA (n = 8), low Arg (n = 8), and 5PAA (n = 8) diets for 14 d. The values are means ± standard errors. Asterisks indicate significant differences as assessed by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni and Tukey–Kramer post-hoc tests (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01)
