Pentoxifylline Attenuates Methionine- and Choline-Deficient-Diet-Induced Steatohepatitis by Suppressing TNF-α Expression and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress

Figure 2

Serum chemistry values after 4 weeks of administration with an MCD diet and pentoxifylline. There was a significant decrease in serum triglyceride and total cholesterol in rats in the MCD plus saline (group III) and MCD plus PTX (group IV) groups relative to rats in control group (group I). A significant increase of ALT levels in groups III and IV was observed. Results are shown as mean ± SEM. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 versus untreated control group.
