Fig. 10From: Long-term fructose feeding changes the expression of leptin receptors and autophagy genes in the adipose tissue and liver of male rats: a possible link to elevated triglyceridesThe relationship between LEPR liver expression, MAP1LC3β WAT expression and the plasma triglyceride level. LEPR mRNA expression in the liver explains 49.1 % of the plasma TG levels (p < 0.001). LEPR mRNA expression in the liver and MAP1LC3β mRNA expression in the WAT together explain 57.5 % of the TGs (p < 0.001). The black squares represent standard-diet-fed rats (CCst, RCst and RRst), and the gray ones are fructose-fed rats (CCfru, RCfru and RRfru)Back to article page
