Figure Lengend Snippet: Liver expression of AKT (a), TGFb (b), CD163 (c), CD86 (d), NFkB (e), IL-10 (f), and Pi3K (g). All data are presented as mean ± SD. Fluorescence intensity data was generated by Zeiss Zen Lite software for each picture taken (10 images per subject, 5 animals per group, 400× magnification). Statistically significant differences are indicated as follows: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.005, *** p < 0.001, and **** p < 0.0001; (ns) denotes no significant difference. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc correction for multiple comparisons.
Article Snippet: Fluorescently labeled antibodies, including CD163-FITC (200 ng; Bioss, bs-2527R-FITC) and CD68-PerCP (200 ng; Abcam, ab220509), were used for specific staining.
