PEITC reduced the expression levels of pyroptosis-related proteins. (A) Liver tissue sections from each group were stained for NLRP3, Caspase-1, GSDMD, and IL-1β. Scale bar, 100 μm. (B) The average optical densities (AODs) of NLRP3, Caspase-1, GSDMD, and IL-1β are displayed as histograms. The data are presented as the means ± SEMs (n = 10 per group). ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001 vs. the normal group; **P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, P < 0.001 vs. the triptolide control.
