L. salivarius SNK-6 metabolite inhibits FFA-induced lipid deposition in hepatocytes: (a) Oil red O staining (200× magnification).; (b) Percentage of Oil Red O staining positive area in cells; (c) Expression of miR-130a-5p in L. salivarius SNK-6 metabolite treated hepatocytes; (d) The mRNA and protein levels of MBOAT2 in L. salivarius SNK-6 metabolite treated hepatocytes; (e) qRT-PCR analysis of genes associated with the PPAR/SREBP pathway. The results are presented as the mean ±SEM of at least triplicate experiments. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01.
