Figure 4

Anti-apoptotic effects of AXEF on the ER stress-induced NASH mouse model. (A) TUNEL assay and (B) quantitative analysis of TUNEL positive signal through the liver tissue. (C) Hepatic protein levels of caspase-3/7 activities. (D) Western blot analysis of apoptosis-related proteins BAX, BcL-xL, and BcL-2 in the hepatic protein lysates. (E–G) Quantitative analyses of Western blot. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 4 for TUNEL assay and Western blot analysis; n = 6–8 for each group for caspase-3/7 activities). # p < 0.05; ## p < 0.01; ### p < 0.001 for the Con vs. TM, * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001 for TM vs. AXEF or Sily 50. Images were captured using light microscopy (100× magnification).
