CTPG supplementation ameliorated hepatic steatosis and lipid profile in HFD mice. At the end of this study, mice were sacrificed to collect livers. A Liver sections were stained with H&E (× 200). B Liver indexes. The levels of TG (C) and TC (D) in livers were detected. The levels of TC (E), AST (F) and ALT (G) in serum were measured. H Total protein was isolated from livers and AMPKα protein expression and phosphorylation of AMPKα were detected by Western blot. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. ^#p < 0.05, ^##p < 0.01 and ^###p < 0.001, HFD group versus NFD group. ^*p < 0.05, ^**p < 0.01 and ^***p < 0.001, CTPG and MET groups versus HFD group
