Effects of luteolin-enriched artichoke extract and luteolin on the hepatic lipid levels (A), fecal lipid levels (B), hepatic morphology (magnification 200×) (C), hepatic lipid-regulating enzyme activities (D), and hepatic gene expression (E) in C57BL/6N mice fed a high-fat diet. Data are the mean ± SEM. Significant differences between the HFD and ND groups are indicated: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. Bars marked with different lower case letters indicate significant differences among the groups based on the HFD (HFD, AR, and LU) at p < 0.05. Bars marked with the same lower case letters indicate no significant differences among the groups based on the HFD. ND, normal diet (AIN-76), HFD, high-fat diet (20% fat, 1% cholesterol), AR, HFD + 0.005% luteolin-enriched artichoke, LU, HFD + 0.005% luteolin, ME, malic enzyme, PAP, phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, CPT, carnitine palmitoyltransferase.
