The effect of SNN extracts on hepatic steatosis. Male C57Bl/6 mice (7 weeks of age) were fed HF-DSS diet for 12 weeks followed by either 4-week SNN () or normal saline supplementation via gavage (), while chow diet mice were set as controls (Con, ). The mice were sacrificed, and liver tissues were collected and stained with Oil Red O (a). Image magnification ×200. Hepatic TG (b) and TC (c) were analyzed. Data were present as mean ± SE, , versus Con mice; ^▲▲ versus HF-DSS (NASH) mice.
