Effects of PGE treatment on hepatic steatosis-related markers in HFD-fed C57BL/6J mice. The data are the mean ± SEM (n = 10). (A) The weight of the liver and plasma levels of hepatic cholesterol, TG, and FFA; (B) hematoxylin and eosin (H & E)-stained transverse sections of the liver, 1000× magnification; (C) levels of the hepatic lipotoxicity markers GOT and GPT; (D) Lipogenesis-related gene expression; and (E) Hepatic lipid-regulating enzyme activities in the HFD-fed mice. ND, mice fed a normal diet; HFD, mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) alone; PGE, Platycodon grandiflorus root extract (5%, w/w)-treated HFD-fed mice.
