Linarin Enriched Extract Attenuates Liver Injury and Inflammation Induced by High-Fat High-Cholesterol Diet in Rats

Figure 1

Regulatory effect of Lin-extract on liver index and liver lipid metabolism. (a) Body weight and (b) liver index comparison among different groups. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM () (, control versus model group). (c) Oil red O staining of liver section at 100x magnification. ((d) and (e)) Quantification of total glyceride and total cholesterol content in the liver. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM () (, control versus model group). (f) FASN and (g) SCD1 gene expression by real-time PCR in liver. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM () ( control versus model group, high dose versus model group). Cont, control; LIN-LD, low dose Lin-extract; LIN-MD, middle dose Lin-extract; LIN-HD, high dose Lin-extract; FASN, fatty acid synthase; SCD1, stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1.
