BL153 Partially Prevents High-Fat Diet Induced Liver Damage Probably via Inhibition of Lipid Accumulation, Inflammation, and Oxidative Stress

Figure 2

Effects of BL153 on HFD-induced fibrosis in the liver. The expression of fibrotic molecular maker CTGF was detected by immunohistochemical staining (a), and both CTGF (b) and TGF-β1 (c) were also detected by Western blot. Data were presented as means ± SD (𝑛=5 at least in each group). *𝑃<0.05 versus Ctrl group. ^#𝑃<0.05 versus HFD group. CTGF: connective tissue growth factor; TGF-β1: transforming growth factor β1; Ctrl: control; HFD: high fat diet.
