BMP9 treatment attenuates hepatic steatosis in HFD mouse livers. (A) The appearance of the liver and liver weight difference among the three groups. (B) Oil red o staining, HE, sirius red staining of the liver and F4/80 IHC staining in the different groups (original magnification, ×200 or ×100). (C) Histological scoring of steatosis, hepatocyte ballooning and lobular inflammation. (D) The mRNA expression of F4/80 in mouse livers. (E) BMP9 modulated TG but not CHOL levels in the liver. (F) BMP9 downregulated SREBP1 protein expression in the liver. The data are presented as the means ± SEM. Control, n = 6; HFD and HFD+BMP9, n = 8 respectively. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
