Protein expressions of CD36 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) as well as localization of CD36 in the liver. Protein expressions of CD36 (A) and α-SMA (B) were detected by Western blot analysis. (C) Representative images of immunohistochemical detection of CD36 on the liver sections. CD36-positive cells were present in the hepatocytes; upper panel: scale bar = 50 μm; lower panel: scale bar = 25 μm ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001, for one-way ANOVA test with post hoc analysis (Bonferroni) among different groups; ^#p < 0.05 for student's t test between two groups.
