The effect of PBL on the viability of NAFLD-modeled cells. (a) Effects of palmitic acid (PA) on cell viability. HepG2 cells were incubated with different concentrations of PA for 48 h. (b) The result of PBL (0.78–100 µg/mL) on cell viability after 48 h of exposure. (c) Effect of PBL on PA-induced cell viability reduction. HepG2 cells were treated with PBL (0.78–100 µg/mL) and induced by PA (300 µM) for 48 h. (d) HepG2 cells evaluated by Oil Red O staining. The data represent as mean ± SEM for n = 3 studies. *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001 compared with the control group.
