Effect of oral administration of vitamin D-enriched mushrooms on liver damage. Effect of treatment on serum liver enzymes levels: ALT, AST and GGT (a). Effect of treatment on hepatic fat content (%) as measured by EchoMRI (b). Effect of treatment on NAS score: ballooning, inflammation, Steatosis and overall NAS score were calculated for mice in all groups (c-f). Effect of treatment on liver histology: Representative slides from all groups are shown (H&E, ×10) (g). Data represent mean +/− SE from N = 4–6 mice per group. p value (by Kruskal-Wallis test) < 0.05 for Liver fat (%) week 25 and hepatocytes ballooning. * - p value <0.05 (by Mann-Whitney test)
