From: Capparis spinosa improves the high fat diet-induced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in rats: the possible role of FGF21

Fig. 1

Body weight in rats of NC and HF groups after high-fat emulsion treatment for 6 weeks (a) effect of CS fruit extract on the body weight after 12 weeks (b), liver weight (c) and liver index (d) of fatty liver rats at the end of experiment. The serum concentration of FGF21 (e) and FGF21 mRNA expression (f) changes during 12 weeks of treatment. Both FGF21 concentration and its mRNA expression were significantly higher in the HF+CS group than those in the HF group. NC, normal control diet group, HF, high-fat emulsion group; HF+CS: HF + Capparis spinosa group. Values are given as mean ± S.D. of 7 rats at *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; and ***p < 0.001
