Figure 3

QGHXR inhibits hepatic steatosis in ethanol plus CCl₄-administrated mice. C57BL/6J mice were either fed a Lieber–DeCarli liquid diet containing 4% ethanol or pair-fed a control diet, and mice were intraperitoneally injected with CCl₄ (0.1 mL/kg) for 8 weeks. At week 5, mice were administered with 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg QGHXR by gavage daily for 4 weeks. (a) Representative oil red O staining, 100x. (b) Hepatic TG, FFA, and CH levels. The values represent means ± SEM (n = 8). , vs. ethanol + CCl₄.
