Herbal SGR Formula Prevents Acute Ethanol-Induced Liver Steatosis via Inhibition of Lipogenesis and Enhancement Fatty Acid Oxidation in Mice

Figure 6

The effects of SGR supplementation on PPAR-α immunofluorescence staining of acute ethanol-induced liver injury in mice. The graph showed the average number of fluorescence dots of images from each treatment group (×400). (a) (A) normal; (B) ethanol; (C) SGR (100 mg/kg); (D) SGR (200 mg/kg). (b) Changes in the cumulative value of optical density in cytoplasm immunofluorescence staining of PPAR-α, expressed as the relative content of the ethanol control value. These data were representative of three independent experiments. , , compared with normal control group; , , compared with ethanol group.
