Administration of LBP improved liver functions injured by NASH development. (a) Hematoxylin and eosin staining shows that high-fat diet-fed rats exhibit fat deposition and inflammatory foci in the liver. Administration of LBP reduced the injury without influencing healthy rat liver. Ctrl, control. (b) Sirius red staining shows the collagen formation in the NASH rat liver, which is significantly attenuated by LBP treatment. (c) Quantification of collagen formation, (d) NAFLD activity score and (e) serum ALT levels also indicate the improvement of liver function by LBP treatment. Data from each group were expressed as means±s.e.m. (n=8). Statistical comparison between groups was done using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn's post hoc test to detect differences between all groups. A P-value <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant with different letter labels. C, control; L, vehicle-LBP; N, NASH; N+L, NASH+LBP. Magnification: × 200. Bar: 20 μm.
