Fig. 2From: Low-arginine and low-protein diets induce hepatic lipid accumulation through different mechanisms in growing ratsPlasma free fatty acid and TG levels in preprandial or postprandial conditions after feeding the 5PAA and low Arg diets. Six-week-old male Wistar rats were fed the 15PAA (n = 8), low Arg (n = 8), and 5PAA (n = 8) diet for 14 d. Preprandial free fatty acid (a) and TG (c) levels and postprandial free fatty acid (b) and TG (d) levels are shown. The values are the means ± standard errors. Asterisks indicate significant differences as assessed by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni and Tukey–Kramer post hoc tests (**p < 0.01)Back to article page
