From: Eriocitrin ameliorates diet-induced hepatic steatosis with activation of mitochondrial biogenesis
Assessment of body weight and length, plasma TG and hepatic steatosis in zebrafish overfed with eriocitrin.
(a) Average body weight; (b) average body length; and (c) BMI in each group during 4 weeks feeding. Each group contained 10 fish. All values are mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus vehicle in the NF group. (d) Plasma TG levels in each group. Four weeks' administration of eriocitrin reduced plasma TG in the OF group. Values are mean ± SEM; n = 10, *P < 0.05. (e) Fasting blood glucose in each group. Values are mean ± SEM; n = 10. (f) Oil Red O staining of liver sections. Eriocitrin reduced the number of lipid droplets (red) compared with the OF group. Erio: eriocitrin.
