Shugan Xiaozhi Decoction Attenuates Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis by Enhancing PPAR and L-FABP Expressions in High-Fat-Fed Rats

Figure 4

Effects of SX on the protein expressions of PPARα and L-FABP on NASH rat livers. (a) Representative Western blots for PPARα and L-FABP protein expressions on HFD-challenged rats treated with various dosages of SX and fenofibrate. (b) The bands from five independent experiments were quantified by densitometry and represented graphically. Data (the ratio of each protein’s expression to GAPDH protein expression) were the mean SD of five separate experiments; 0.01 versus normal group; 0.05 versus the HFD group for PPARα; and 0.05 and 0.01 versus the HFD group for L-FABP.
