The effect of diet and LPS on hepatic TLR4 mRNA. Representative images of ethidium-stained agarose electrophoresis gels of RT-PCR products of RNA extracted from livers of mice fed CD or HCD for 4 weeks (A). MW is a Lambda HindIII molecular weight marker. Signal intensities were measured as in figure 4A and normalized to the RT-PCR signal for β-actin in each sample (B). Bars depict mean normalized signal ratios + SE for 5 mice fed each diet, relative to the CD group, represented by 1 on the y-axis. *: p < 0.05 for comparison with CD.
