Fig. 2

a H&E staining of liver sections. 4x enlarged images are also shown. b The number of cells in 1 mm2 from H&E-stained liver section. Smaller cell numbers in a unit area in OPA1-KO liver indicate larger size cells. n = 4 animals per group. Data are presented as mean values +/- SD. Unpaired t test. p = 0.0154. c Serum ALT measurements. n = 9 animals per group. Data are presented as mean values +/- SD. Unpaired t test. p < 0.0001. d Serum AST measurements. n = 6 animals per group. Data are presented as mean values +/- SD. Unpaired t test. P = 0.0005. e Serum LDH measurements. n = 6 animals per group. Data are presented as mean values +/- SD. Unpaired t test. f Immunoblots of floxed and OPA1-KO livers for markers of apoptosis and autophagy. g Quantification of (f). Significantly decreased caspase 3 cleavage and LC3-II/LC3-I ratio in OPA1-KO liver. n = 5 animals per group. Data are presented as mean values +/- SD. Unpaired t test. ****p < 0.0001; **p = 0.0011; *p = 0.0463. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
