Figure 2From: Diet high in fat and sucrose induces rapid onset of obesity-related metabolic syndrome partly through rapid response of genes involved in lipogenesis, insulin signalling and inflammation in miceEffect of the HF–HS diet on the plasma lipid profile. Plasma levels of cholesterol (total cholesterol, LDL–cholesterol, and HDL–cholesterol) (A), triglycerides (B), and free fatty acids (C) are shown. HF–HS diet: high fat–high sucrose diet. C57BL/6 J mice were fed standard chow diet or the HF–HS diet (milk fat 21% and sucrose 34%) for 2 or 4 weeks. Values are the mean ± SE, n = 6. ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001.Back to article page
