) to further lipid accumulation. Methods A total of 12 male C57BL/6J mice at 6 to 8 weeks were randomly divided into control group (
n

the animals from control and inflammation groups were given normal saline and casein respectively by subcutaneous injection for 16 weeks. At the end of the treatment
the blood sample and liver tissue of the mice were collected. Serum levels of lipids were detected by enzymatic assay. Inflammatory cytokines
such as serum amyloid A (SAA) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined by ELISA. Lipid accumulation in the liver was evaluated by HE staining and oil red O staining. The expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr)
sterol regulatory element binding protein-2 (SREBP-2) and SREBP cleavage activating protein (SCAP) at mRNA and protein levels were analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)
immunohistochemistry staining and Western blotting respectively. Results The serum levels of SAA and TNF-α were significantly higher in inflammation group than in the control group (236.09±38.45
