Ameliorative effects of SAMC on liver injury, collagen accumulation and excessive free fatty acids. Liver H&E staining of a control group, b NAFLD group, c SAMC group and d NAFLD+SAMC group. Liver Sirius Red staining of e control group, f NAFLD group, g SAMC group and h NAFLD+SAMC group. i Percentage of total collagen of liver with Sirius Red staining, j NAS scoring of liver H&E staining, k serum ALT level and l serum free fatty acids (FFAs) level of each group. Magnification: ×200. Data presented are expressed as Mean ± SEM (n = 7) and experimental groups marked by different letters represented significant differences between groups at p < 0.05 (Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn’s post hoc test).
