Figure 4. Hepatic gene expression levels significantly suppressed by β-cryptoxanthin in NASH.
C57BL/6J mice were fed a standard chow (NC), a CL diet (CL), or a CL diet containing 0.003% β-cryptoxanthin (CL+CX) for 12 weeks. Hepatic gene expression was determined using a DNA microarray (Genopal, Mitsubishi Rayon). The degree of change (fold) was calculated compared with the livers of the control mice (NC). Data are expressed as the arithmetic mean ± SEM of 5 mice in each group. Different superscripts indicate significant differences (p<0.05) between the groups.
