The issue of adequately quantitatively evaluating hepatic steatosis is still unresolved. Therefore, we compared three methods of quantitative assessment. Two groups of mice (n = 10 each) were fed standard chow (10% fat, SC group) or a high-fat diet (60% fat, HF group) for 16 weeks, and hepatic triglyceride (HT) and liver tissue were then studied.

Objective: To investigate whether changing the lipid source induces metabolic changes and/or modulates the adipose tissue distribution in mice fed with a high-fat (HF) diet.

Methods: C57BL/6 mice were subjected to a 10-wk control diet (10% fat) or an HF diet (60% fat) containing lard (HF-L), olive oil (HF-O), sunflower oil, or canola oil. Food intake and body weight were measured.

We investigated the effect of fish oil (FO) treatment on cardiorenal structure of adult offspring from low-protein pregnancies. Three month old offspring were assigned to eight groups (four male groups and four female groups, n=8 each) (NP=normal-protein diet, LP=low-protein diet): NP, LP, NP plus FO, and LP plus FO. Left ventricle and kidney were analyzed with light microscopy and stereology.
