Krill Oil Ameliorates Mitochondrial Dysfunctions in Rats Treated with High-Fat Diet

Figure 4

Effect of KO on proteins related to the respiratory chain function. Effect of KO on proteins levels of UCP2 (a) and AAC (b). The amount of porin, an outer membrane protein, was tested as a control (c). Liver mitochondrial proteins from control, HF, or HF+KO-fed rats were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose, and then immunodecorated with antisera against UCP2, AAC or the mammalian porin. The amount of proteins revealed by immunodecoration in the control group was set to 100%. The values reported in the figure represent the means ± SD (). versus rats fed control diet; versus rats fed HF diet.
