Fig. 3

Lipid droplet (LD) size. A Hepatic LD diameter measured in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. B Positive correlation between plasma free fatty acid (FFA) level and hepatic LD diameter in all 24 mice. R = 0.53 (P < 0.05). C Hepatic LD size change in WT mice. After exercise, LDs tended to grow bigger, shifting the distribution to the right. D Hepatic LD size change in Alb−/− mice. After exercise, LDs tended to become smaller, shifting the distribution to the left. E Soleus LD diameter measured in TEM images. EX: exercise, CON: control. Analysis by ANOVA. n = 6 per group. Data are presented as the mean ± S.E.M. Main effect of genotype, #P < 0.0001. EX different from CON within a genotype, ** P < 0.01
