Hepatic anti-inflammatory factor expressions in the mice fed with the liquid Lieber–DeCarli ethanol diet. (A) Immunoblotting photograph of (B) PPAR-γ, (C) Nrf-2, and (D) HO-1. Two groups of the mice were fed a normal diet (NOR group) or a liquid Lieber–DeCarli ethanol diet (EtOH group) without the administration of test materials. The other ethanol-induced liver injury mice were administered silymarin (200 mg/kg bw/day), a low dose of monascin (0.615 mg/kg bw/day; MS-L group), a high dose of monascin (3.075 mg/kg bw/day; MS-H group), ankaflavin (0.3075 mg/kg bw/day; AK-L group), or a high dose of ankaflavin (1.5375 mg/kg bw day) (AK-H group). Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 8). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001 vs. EtOH group. Abbreviations: PPAR-γ, proliferator-activated receptor γ; Nrf-2, nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2; and HO-1, heme oxygenase-1.
