Aggravated fat deposition in the liver of the fat-removed LDLR−/− mice. (a) Liver weight. (b,c) Liver triglyceride and total cholesterol content, n = 8–9 per group, **P < 0.01. (d) H&E (top) and Oil-red O (bottom) staining of the liver. Bar = 100 μm. (e,f) mRNA expression of genes related with triglyceride and cholesterol metabolism in the liver. n = 6 for each group, *P < 0.05.
