Figure 2

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) deficiency reduced methionine- and choline-deficient (MCD) diet-induced hepatic steatosis. (A) The body weight of the WT or OPG KO mice after MCD diet 1–4 weeks. (B) Liver weight of the mice. (C) Liver weight to body weight ratio. (D) Gross photograph of the mice’s liver. (E) Serum triglyceride levels. (F) Total serum cholesterol. (G) Serum glucose. (H) Triglyceride levels in the liver. (I) The representative image of hematoxylin–eosin staining. (J) The representative image of Oil Red O staining. The scale bar is 50 µm. Each group at least has 3 samples. The data in (A–C), (E–H) are presented as the mean ± SD, *p < 0.05.
