Overexpression of miR-29a reduces hepatocellular steatosis in the context of chronic HFD. Paraformaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded liver tissue was used to determine the abundance of lipid droplets with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) stain. (A) Representative HE stain image of each group. (B) Lipid droplet area quantified using ImageJ. Data collected from three fields of view of each specimen and six to nine specimens for each group are expressed as mean ± SE. ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001 between the indicated groups. WT, wild type mice. HFD, high-fat diet. miR-29a, mice harboring overexpression of miR-29a.
