A methionine-choline deficient diet induced liver steatosis and inflammation in mice. (A) We performed serial ultrasound studies throughout a 6-week course of MCD diet. Presented are representative pictures of the kidney and liver (labeled). The liver tissue displayed elevated echogenicity over time, a key feature of liver steatosis in ultrasound. Visually, the liver transformed to appear brighter than kidney tissue throughout the course of the diet. (B) We dissected livers for histopathological staining at each time point. The H&E staining displayed accumulating fatty infiltrates (white vesicles) over time. MCD methionine-choline deficient, H&E hematoxylin and eosin.
