a Schematic showing administration protocol for spermidine (3 mM in drinking water) in mice fed with WDF for 16 weeks. b Representative images of H&E staining of the liver. (n = 5). c Hepatic triglyceride content was measured by biochemical assay. (n = 8). dg Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) lipidomic profiling of hepatic triacylglycerols (TAGs) (d), diacylclycerols (DAGs) (e), monoacylglycerol (MAGs) (f), and cholesterol esters (CEs) (g) levels from mice fed with NCD (n = 6), WDF (n = 8), or WDF supplemented with spermidine (WDF + Spd, n = 6) for 16 weeks. Heat maps represent the average of each condition. h circulating ALT level from mice fed with NCD (n = 8), WDF (n = 8), WDF + Spd (n = 7). i Hepatic collagen content was determined by measurement of hydroxyproline level in the liver from mice fed with NCD (n = 6), WDF (n = 8), WDF + Spd (n = 7). j Representative images of Masson trichrome stain of liver sections. (n = 5). Significance was calculated by One-Way ANOVA. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
