Analysis of the effect of LPS. (a) Bodyweight, (b) liver-to-body weight ratio, and (c) serum laboratory data of ALT, T-cho, TG, T-bil, ALB, and FFA were determined in the 12W control model, 12W LPS model, and 20W control model (n = 8 for each group) (※p < 0.05, ※※p < 0.01, one-way ANOVA, Bonferroni test). (d) Changes in the mRNA expression of Il-6, Timp1, and Tnfa in each group (n = 8 for each group) were analyzed using qRT-PCR (※p < 0.05, ※※ p < 0.01, one-way ANOVA, Bonferroni test). ALT, alanine transaminase; T-cho, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; T-bil, total bilirubin; ALB, albumin; FFA, free fatty acid.
