EGCG reduced liver fat accumulation in the treated groups. Diet-induced NAFLD mice were randomly divided into three treatment groups: PBS, EGCG-25, and EGCG-50, and treated for 8 weeks. Shown data were obtained at the end of the study. (a) Representative oil red staining image from each group is shown; (b) hepatic TG level of each group. Liver tissues were homogenized for TG level measurement, and data are presented as μg/mg of protein. The PBS group exhibited significantly higher hepatic TG levels, compared to the unmanipulated healthy control (CTL) (n = 5, **** p < 0.001), EGCG-25 (n = 5, ** p < 0.01), and EGCG 50 groups (n = 5, * p < 0.05 (one-way ANOVA test); and (c) steatosis score in each group. PBS group exhibited significantly higher steatosis score, compared to the unmanipulated healthy control (CTL) (n = 5, *** p < 0.01), EGCG-25 (n = 5, * p < 0.05), and EGCG 50 groups (n = 5, * p < 0.05 (one-way ANOVA test).
