(A) Hepatic mRNA levels of genes related to fibrogenesis. (B) Immunoblot analysis of OPN and αSMA. (C) Representative photomicrographs of liver section stained with Azan-Mallory method. Bar=50 μm. Data are expressed as mean±S.E.M. *P<.05 and **P<.01 between control diet-fed and SFA-rich diet-fed HCVcpTg mice. Con, control diet-fed HCVcpTg mice; SFA, SFA-rich diet-fed HCVcpTg mice.(D) A proposed mechanism on how a SFA-rich diet enhances steatogenesis and liver tumorigenesis in HCV core gene transgenic mice.
