Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of HFC-diet treatment on hepatic adiponectin receptor 1 and 2 (AdipoR1, AdipoR2), 5′-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase-α subunit ½ (AMPKα1/2) and phosphorylated AMPKα (p-AMPKα) protein levels and mRNA expressions. a Western blot results of respective protein expressions in whole liver tissue homogenates. b, c Hepatic AdipoR1 protein (b) and mRNA expression (c) ratios. d, e Hepatic AdipoR2 protein (d) and mRNA expression (e) ratios. f, g AMPKα1/2 (f) and p-AMPKα (g) protein expression ratios. Each histogram represents a mean ratio ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 compared with the SP-diet group within each diet–treatment period
