Effect of Lactobacillus and Pediococcus on the Western diet‐induced liver disease. (A) Experiment design of WD model. (B) Gross specimen of mice liver. (C) L/B ratio. (D) Pathological effects of strains on the liver. Hematoxylin and eosin staining of liver sections were analyzed (x 20) and analyze to NAFLD activity score (NAS). (E) Liver function test and cholesterol level of mice. *p < 0.05 as compared with WD. L/B, Liver weight/body weight; LL, Lactobacillus lactis; NC, normal control; PP, Pediococcus pentosaceus; WD, Western diet
