BTS reduces hepatomegaly and hepatic steatosis. a Oil red-O staining and image analysis of livers: Oil red-O staining showed that BTS attenuated hepatic steatosis in GTG + HF fed mice. In addition, image analysis for Oil red-O staining of liver sections confirmed that BTS treatment attenuated hepatic steatosis. Plus symbol p < 0.0001 vs 2 %BTS, double plus symbol p < 0.00001 vs GTG + HF, n = 6. b Liver weight and liver/body weight ratio (liver/body): the increase of both liver weight and liver/body ratio was significantly attenuated by BTS treatment in a dose dependent manner. Triple asterisk p < 0.001, double asterisk p < 0.01 vs GTG + HF, plus symbol p<0.05 vs 2 %BTS, n = 6
