Figure 9 Expression of mouse smooth muscle actin in liver tissue. Representative photomicrographs (Magnification × 40) Immunohistochemistry for α-smooth muscle actin (SMA). Arrows show area in which the expression is marked. SMA expression was determined to analyze early development of fibrosis. HFD group showed an augmented expression of SMA along the perisinusoidal space in compared to CD group. Noteworthy, HFD + DS and HFD + 17-HDHA showed a pronounced reduction, whereas HFD + 18-HEPE groups displayed only a modest decrease.
