Effects of the extent of lipid accumulation on the expression of genes in NAFLD liver. The numbers of hepatocytes with marked lipid accumulation were counted on biopsy sections. The expression levels of genes were compared between the liver samples with mild steatosis (<30% of hepatocytes show marked lipid accumulation; n=12) and in liver samples with advanced steatosis (>30% of hepatocytes show marked lipid accumulation; n=10). All PCR reactions were normalized for β-actin expression. The mean expression in NAFLD liver with mild steatosis was set as 1. *p<0.05.
