Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 9. Effect of a KD on markers of inflammation in the liver of KC mice. Protein levels of TLR2 and TLR4, and p-p65 analyzed by western blotting in liver lysates from 12-month-old KC mice fed a control diet (CD), high-fat diet (HFD), or ketogenic diet (KD). Image shows representative immunoblots of TLR2 and TLR4, and p-p65 and protein levels of vinculin used as a loading control. Each lane represents an individual mouse, and three mice per group are shown. Bands were quantified, and results are expressed as percentage control. * p < 0.05, data are depicted as mean with ± SD, one-way ANOVA (n = 4–6 animals/group/sex).
