Liver weight (a), the ratio of liver weight to body weight (b), liver total cholesterol content (c), liver triglyceride content (d), and Oil Red O staining area (e) in water-control, 10% fructose solution-control and fructose pair-fed oleanolic acid- (OA-) treated rats. Animals were administered with OA (5 or 25 mg/kg/day) or vehicle (OA: 0 mg/kg, 5% Gum Arabic) by oral gavage daily for 10 weeks. Data are means ± SEM ( each group). .
