Co-treatment of SAMC reduced NAFLD-induced chemokine expression. Expression level of a MCP-1 mRNA, b MCP-1 protein, c MIP-2 mRNA and d KC mRNA were measured in rat liver after NAFLD development with or without co-treatment of SAMC by quantitative PCR or ELISA. 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). C control, N NAFLD, S SAMC, N+S NAFLD+SAMC
