Figure 2

Effect of high dietary intake of palm oil, olive oil, and lard on hepatic lipid accumulation and steatosis. (a) Liver histology sections from a representative rat of each group, magnification 200x; (b) histograms represent liver lipid area quantification. The results are expressed as mean values ± SD, n = 7-8 animals per group. The limit of statistical significance was set at . Bar graphs with different letters (a, b, and c) are significantly different. OO, olive oil; PO, palm oil.
