From: Combining albumin deficiency and acute exercise reduces hepatic lipid droplet size in mice
Large lipid droplets (LDs) in WT mice were maintained using carbon backbone potentially from glycogen during exercise A. Liver gene expression related to lipogenesis. DGAT1: Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1; DGAT2: Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2; FAS: Fatty acid synthase; PLIN2: Perilipin 2. B Liver gene expression related to G-3-P pathway. GPD-1: glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1; GPAT1: Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 1; GPAT4: Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 4. C Hepatic G-3-P concentration. D Plasma glycerol concentration. E Plasma triacylglycerol (TAG) concentration. F GPD-1 protein expression. EX: exercise, CON: control. Analysis by ANOVA. n = 6 per group. Data are presented as the mean ± S.E.M. mRNA results normalized to 18S and protein results normalized to β-actin. Main effect of genotype, †P < 0.01, ‡P < 0.05. EX different from CON within a genotype, * P < 0.05
