Sodium butyrate attenuates high-fat diet-induced steatohepatitis in mice by improving gut microbiota and gastrointestinal barrier

Figure 5 Sodium butyrate improves inflammation and lipid metabolism in epididymal fat. A: Gene expression levels of MCP-1 and TNF-α in epididymal fat; B: Gene expression levels of PPAR-α and PPAR-γ in epididymal fat. Data represent means ± SEM (n = 12 mice per group), ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 and ^eP < 0.001.
