Effect of TRF on hepatic fibrosis.

(A) mRNA expression of fibrosis markers in the liver. Data are shown as the means ± S.E. (n = 9). *P<0.05 vs Ctrl, ^#P<0.05 vs CDAHFD-AL. (B) Protein level of αSMA. Data are shown as the means ± S.E. (n = 9). *P<0.05 vs Ctrl. (C) Representative images of Sirius red staining and quantification of Sirius red positive area. Scale bar indicates 100 μm. Averages of Sirius red positive area were calculated for 6–10 images per mouse. Data are shown as the means ± S.E. (n = 9). *P<0.05 vs Ctrl.
