Figure 7

Hepatic fibrosis in the NF and OF groups at 7 months of life. Hepatic fibrosis was evaluated with Masson’s Trichrome at 10x in the NF (A-B) and OF (A-C) groups. A “stack image” was generated from NF (A-B) and OF (A-C) groups, respectively (A-A) and (A-D), to quantify the fibrotic area using ImageJ. A specific zone was enlarged at 20x in the NF (A-E) and OF (A-F) groups. ***p < 0.001. These images are representative from n = 8 animals/group. Alpha-SMA (α-SMA) protein expression was measured by western blot in the NF (white) and OF (gray) groups (B). Cropped blots are displayed. Representative images are presented and full-length western blots are presented in supplemental data 1. The values are reported as the mean ± SD; *p < 0.05; n = 7 animals/group.
