EAT gene transfer blocks fatty liver development in ob/ob mice. (A) Representative images of the liver and liver sections stained by H&E, Oil red O, or Nile red; Bar = 1 cm for gross image; Scale bar = 50 μm for tissue sections. (B) Liver weight. (C) Liver triglyceride. (D) Blood concentrations of AST and ALT. (E) mRNA levels of critical genes controlling lipid and glucose metabolism in the liver. Values in (B–E) represent average ± SD (n = 5). *P < 0.05 compared with the control; **P < 0.01 compared with the control.
