Genistein Attenuates Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis and Increases Hepatic PPARγ in a Rat Model

Figure 3

Effects of genistein on PPARγ expression in the liver of rats. (a) The percentage of PPARγ immunoreactive cells; (b) the immunostaining intensity of PPARγ. Different superscript letters indicate statistically significant differences among groups (). Data are mean ± SD. Control (): rats fed with normal diet plus vehicle; NASH (): rats fed with high-fat diet (HFD) plus vehicle; NASH + Gen 8 (): rats fed with HFD plus 8 mg/kg genistein; NASH + Gen 16 (): rats fed with HFD plus 16 mg/kg genistein.
