Highly-expressed lncARSR is found in NAFLD mice and HepG2 cells with oleate. a Fat accumulation in liver from the HFD-fed mice detected by H&E staining and Oil Red-O staining (×200) (n = 15). b TG content in liver from HFD-fed mice (n = 15). c LncARSR level in liver (n = 15) examined by RT-qPCR. d Fat content in HepG2 cells treated with 0.5 nM oleate monitored by Nile Red staining. e TG content in oleate-treated HepG2 cells (×400); f lncARSR expression in HepG2 cells treated with oleate determined by RT-qPCR. All the data were measurement data and described as mean ± standard deviation. Differences between two groups were analyzed by unpaired t-test. The experiment was conducted three times. *p < 0.05 against normal diet-fed mice or control HepG2 cells
