Volatile Oil of Amomum villosum Inhibits Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease via the Gut-Liver Axis

Figure 5

A. villosum reduced the TLR4/NF-B inherent immune response system in HFD rat. Effects of A. villosum treatment on (a) TLR4 protein production, (b) NF-κB protein production, (c) IKK protein production, and (d) IкB production were examined in liver tissue. Representative immunoblots for target proteins are shown in (b), (c), and (d). Molecular weight markers are here given in kilodaltons (kDa). Protein levels were normalized to internal controls (beta-actin). Data are shown as mean ± SD (n = 10). Statistical significance: versus model; versus model; versus model.
