BFT decreases adipose tissue inflammation and improved steatohepatitis in HFD-fed mice. qPCR of macrophage and inflammation related genes in epididymal adipose tissues (A) and inguinal adipose tissue (B) of mice treated with either saline (white) or BFT (black) on an HFD for 8 weeks (n = 11–22). (C) Immunohistochemistry of epididymal adipose tissue for F4/80 and collagen I. (D) Quantification of crown like structures (CLS). (E) H&E staining and Sirius Red staining of the liver of chow, HFD or HFD + BFT treated mice. The arrows indicate Sirius Red positive area. (F) Liver weight of chow, HFD or HFD + BFT fed mice. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01, by unpaired, 2-tailed t test for (A,B), or ANOVA, followed by Turkey-Kramer post-hoc for (D,F).
