Figure 1

Cotreatment with SAMC during NAFLD development improved hepatic histology in rats. ((a)–(d)) Representative images of H&E staining in the rat liver sections ((a) control, (b) NAFLD, (c) SAMC, (d) NAFLD + SAMC) and (e) quantitative data of NAS score of H&E staining. Data presented are expressed as Mean ± SEM (𝑛=7) and experimental groups marked by different letters represented significant differences between groups at 𝑃<0.05 (Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn’s post hoc test). Magnification: 200x. Bar: 20 microns. N + S: NAFLD + SAMC cotreatment.
