Fig. 6: Effects of BA-5 treatment on WD + CCl4-induced liver fibrosis mouse model.
A mRNA levels of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), collagen 1 alpha 2 (COL1A2), COL1A1 and DESMIN. B Western blot images and the quantitative amount of α-SMA. C Representative Sirius red-stained images of liver tissues from mice. D Quantification of Sirius red staining. Results are expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) (n = 5–7 per group). One-way ANOVA was used for multiple comparisons. #p < 0.05 vs. the control; ##p < 0.01 vs. the control; *p < 0.05 vs. the WD + CCl4 group; ** p < 0.01 vs. the WD + CCl4 group.
