Additional file 1 of Sex-based differences in natural killer T cell-mediated protection against diet-induced steatohepatitis in Balb/c mice

Additional file 1. HFCD feeding induces more severe steatohepatitis in males than females, especially in CD1d−/− mice. a Representative H&E staining of liver sections, scale bar: 100 μm; b body weight; and c liver weight of 6 weeks HFCD-fed Balb/c (WT) and CD1d-KO mice, males or females. n = 8–10. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.001 vs. corresponding HFCD-groups.
