High fat diet feeding results in gender specific steatohepatitis and inflammasome activation

Figure 7 Long-term male mice fed a high fat diet display increase in fibrotic markers. Hepatic mRNA expression of α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) (A) and pro-collagen-1 (B), were measured using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction in male mice following a long-term high fat diet feeding. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 vs chow fed controls, n = 10/group.
