Effects of BBR on serum TC, TG and LDL-C concentrations (A). Compared with NFD group, ^*p < 0.05, ^**p < 0.01, ^***p < 0.001; Compared with HFD group, ^#p < 0.05, ^##p < 0.01). Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 6). Liver H&E staining (magnification, 400 × and 1000 ×) (B). Liver Oil red O staining (magnification, 400 ×) and the quantification of lipid droplet area ratio assessed by Oil red O staining (C). Black arrows indicate the cytoplasmic vacuolation and the aggregation of red lipid droplets, respectively. Compared with NFD group, ^***p < 0.001; Compared with HFD group, ^###p < 0.001)
