Body weight change, fat pad weight, liver weight, and hepatic triglyceride (TG) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in mice fed a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) or control diet and housed in two different animal facilities (WT1, WT2).a Body weight (BW) at the end of the study relative to the initial weight in %. b Epididymal (Epi) fat pad weight normalized to BW. c Liver weight normalized to BW. d H&E stained liver of WT mice fed a control diet. Small lipid droplets appear in the liver of WT2 mice and are visible at higher magnification (second row). Large lipid droplets in the liver of MCD diet fed mice (third and fourth row). e Oil Red O stained liver. f Hepatic TG concentrations. g Hepatic MDA levels. Data of 5 to 8 animals per group are shown. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01
