Chaihu-Shugan-San Decoction Modulates Intestinal Microbe Dysbiosis and Alleviates Chronic Metabolic Inflammation in NAFLD Rats via the NLRP3 Inflammasome Pathway

Figure 7

Serum LPS and protein expression of TLR4, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, and NF-kB p65 in SD rats fed a control diet or a HFD supplemented with Chaihu-Shugan-San for 16 weeks. These proteins were quantified via western blotting in the hepatic tissue. ^#P < 0.05 NC versus HFD, ^##P < 0.01 NC versus HFD, < 0.05 HFD versus CH, and < 0.01 HFD versus CH, n=4.
