Histopathologic Analysis of Liver Tissue from Mice Fed Chow and MCD Diet

	Chow	MCD
Steatosis	0.0 (±0.0)	2.3 (±0.5)
Inflammation	0.0 (±0.0)	1.0 (±0.0)
Ballooning	0.0 (±0.0)	0.8 (±0.0)
NAS	0.0 (±0.0)	4.0 (±0.8)

Hepatic histology was assessed by reviewing the H&E-stained sections from mice on either the MCD or the CTL diet (n=6 in each group). Individual histologic features were scored by using the NAS as detailed in the Methods section. Average (±SD). NAS, NAFLD activity score.
