8-Hydroxyeicosapentaenoic Acid Decreases Plasma and Hepatic Triglycerides via Activation of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Alpha in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Mice

Table 1

Body weights, liver weights, the relative amount of gonadal WAT per g body weight in male C57BL/6J-DIO mice fed HFD, HFD with EPA, HFD with 8-HEPE, LFD, LFD with EPA, or LFD with 8-HEPE for 4 wk. Values are means ± SDs, . Labeled means without a common letter differ; . HFD: high-fat diet; LFD: low-fat diet; HEPE: hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid; EPA: eicosapentaenoic acid.
