Figure 2: Effects of PSEs on hepatic fat content in rats.

(A) Comparison of liver appearance among the NC, HF and three PSEs treatment groups. (B) The hepatic TG, TC and FFA concentrations in the livers of the rats in the different groups. The NC, HF, PSEL, PSEM and PSEH groups are described as Fig. 1. The liver anatomical appearance was greatly improved by PSEs intervention. The PSEs treatments at the three doses significantly decreased the hepatic TG, TC and FFA levels compared with those in the HF group. The data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. *P < 0.05 vs. NC; ΔP < 0.05 vs. HF.
