Fig. 5. Effects of gonadectomy on maternal high fructose exposure induced lipogenesis in offspring livers.
The expression of lipogenesis proteins was detected using Western blotting in male offspring (A) and female offspring (C). Maternal high fructose exposure increased the expression of lipogenesis in both the sexes. All the samples were run in the same condition. (B, D) Relative protein expression was quantified using optical densitometry (ImageJ software,
http://rsbweb.nih.gov). The sample was obtained from mice liver (each group, n = 6). The graphs show the mean ± standard error for 3 independent experiments (*p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01, control sham
vs. fructose sham;
#p < 0.05 and
##p < 0.01, fructose sham
vs. fructose gonadectomy).
