Ameliorative effects of lutein on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in rats

Figure 8 Lutein supplementation improved the expression of peroxisome proliferators activated receptor-α and sirtuin 1 in rat liver. After the rats were treated with lutein for 45 d, the hepatic lysates were prepared and immunoblotted with corresponding antibodies. Blotting with anti β-actin was used as a protein loading control. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 3). ^aP < 0.05 vs normal diet (ND) group; ^cP < 0.05 vs the high-fat diet (HFD) group.
