Huangqin decoction alleviates lipid metabolism disorders and insulin resistance in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease by triggering Sirt1/NF-κB pathway

Figure 3 Huangqin decoction alleviates liver damage and lipid metabolism disorders in high-fat diet-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease rats. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 8). ^aP < 0.01 vs the normal group, ^bP < 0.05 and ^cP < 0.01 vs high-fat diet group. A-J: Effects of different treatments on levels of alanine transaminase (A); aspartate transaminase (B); total cholesterol (TC) (C); triacylglycerol (TG) (D); free fatty acid (FFA) (E); low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (F); high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (G); TC (H); TG (I); FFA (J) levels in rats are shown. ALT: Alanine transaminase; AST: Aspartate transaminase; Fen: Fenofibrate; FFA: Free fatty acid; HDL-c: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HFD: High-fat diet; HQD: Huangqin decoction; LDL-c: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC: Total cholesterol; TG: Triacylglycerol.
