High fat diet-induced non alcoholic fatty liver disease in rats is associated with hyperhomocysteinemia caused by down regulation of the transsulphuration pathway

Table 2 Effect of high fat diet feeding on plasma TG and cholesterol levels

Diet	TG (mg/g liver)	Cholesterol (mg/g liver)
Control diet	19.7 ± 4.8	31.8 ± 1.0
High fat diet	51.7 ± 5.6**	40.8 ± 2.6**

Rats were fed standard low fat diet (Control diet) or a high fat diet for 18 weeks. Blood samples were then collected and the concentration TG and cholesterol in plasma was measured. Data are the mean from 6 (Control diet) or 4 (High fat diet) animals. **P < 0.01 vs Control diet.
