Bt supplementation ameliorates alcoholic fatty liver disease. (a) Experimental design. (b) Quantification of Bt DNA in feces measured by qPCR (Pair fed groups = n4-5; EtOH groups = n5). (c, d) Histological determination of hepatic steatosis with representative pictures of H&E staining (Pair fed groups = n6; EtOH groups = n9). (e) Liver Triglyceride content in EtOH fed mice (n = 9–10). Data are expressed in mean ± SEM; *p < .05; **p < .01; ***p < .001, ****p < .0001 according to one-Way ANOVA followed by post hoc analysis (Bonferroni test) or two-tails student’s t-test.
