ERβ partially regulates 17α-E2-mediated effects on markers associated with hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in a sex-specific manner. (A) SCD1 protein [n = 7/group], (B) Representative immunoblots of SCD1 and GAPDH, and (C) TGF-ꞵ1 protein [n = 7/group] in liver from male WT and ERβKO mice. (D) SCD1 protein [n = 5/group], (E) Representative immunoblots of SCD1 and GAPDH, and (F) TGF-ꞵ1 protein [n = 7/group] in liver from female WT and ERβKO mice. Age-matched, WT, LFD-fed mice were also evaluated as a normal-weight reference group and their corresponding means for both sexes are depicted as dashed yellow lines [n = 5–7/group]. All data are presented as mean ± SEM and were analyzed within sex by two-way ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc comparisons. * represents differences within genotypes across treatment groups. *p < 0.05.
