Figure 1

The absence of ACE2 aggravated the development of hepatic steatosis in ACE2−/y mice.

(A) Representative images of liver sections from WT and ACE2−/y mice stained with Oil-Red-O (n = 5/each group). (B–D) The liver weight, hepatic triglyceride and cholesterol levels were determined (n = 8/each group). *P < 0.05 and ***P < 0.001 versus WT by Student’s t test.
