Histological assessment on liver sections. (A) Representative images of Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) staining. Black arrow heads indicate the inflammatory infiltrates on liver sections. (B) Representative images of Sirius Red staining. Black arrows indicate collagen fibers on liver sections. Scale bar = 50 μm. (C) Histological scoring was determined by the presence of steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis on liver sections as previously described with slight modification [21]. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001, for one-way ANOVA test with post hoc analysis (Bonferroni) among different groups.
