Effects of Exercise Training on Molecular Markers of Lipogenesis and Lipid Partitioning in Fructose-Induced Liver Fat Accumulation

Figure 3

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase1 (SCD1) fatty acid desaturation indexes expressed under the form of the ratio of monounsaturated (C16 : 1, C18 : 1) over saturated (C16 : 0, C18 : 0) fatty acids measured in liver and plasma of sedentary (Sed) and trained (TR) rats submitted to a fast/refeeding protocol. Animals were fed a standard (SD) diet during 7 wks and thereafter were starved for 24 h and fed with the SD diet for 24 h and starved for another 24 h and then fed with the SD or the high-fructose (HFr) diet 24 h prior to sacrifice at the end of the 8th week. Values are means ± SE, 𝑛 = 1 0  rats/group for plasma and 𝑛 = 5  rats/group for liver desaturation indexes. &&: significantly different from corresponding values under the SD diet, 𝑃 < 0 . 0 1 . ++: significantly different from Sed rats under the same diet condition, 𝑃 < 0 . 0 1 .
