Modified Xiaoyao San treatment regulated the signaling pathways and factors related to inflammation and lipid metabolism. A: In hepatic tissues, PPARγ and COX2 expressions were decreased by modified Xiaoyao San (MXS) treatment and MXS also activated the AMPK signaling; B: MXS treatment attenuated hepatic fibrosis and α-SMA expression. Collagen fibers appear red (black arrows) under normal light microscopy and other tissue components were dyed yellow; C: The MXS treatment inhibited the levels of FASN in liver tissues; D: The PTEN expression in liver tissues was restored after MXS treatment (immunohistochemistry detection reagents yielding a brown reaction product, indicated by black arrows). The brown portion is the portion of the antigen that expresses coloration. MXS: Modified Xiaoyao San; NASH: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
