Silibinin reversed fatty liver in treated animals. (a) average liver weights of control and treated animals. (b) TG level in liver tissues of control and treatment groups. (c) H&E analysis of liver sections of both groups. Upper panels represent at 20X magnification, while lower panels represent 40X magnification (scale bars = 100 μm). (d) Expression levels of lipogenic genes srebp1c, fas and Acc in both groups (e) Expression levels of lipid transporter cd36 in both groups. Values represent averages ± SD (n = 5). *: P < 0.05, **: P < 0.01, ns: nonsignificant
