(A) Histologic scores for location and severity of steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis, according to criteria of Kleiner et al. [18]. (B) Hepatic TG content and plasma ALT level in mice fed normal chow diet (ND) and methionine- and choline-deficient diet (MCDD) with or without various statins for 6 weeks. F, fluvastatin; P, pravastatin; S, simvastatin; A, atorvastatin; R, rosuvastatin. ^aP<0.05 compared with ND, ^bP<0.05 compared with MCDD.
