WEA reduces inflammation in the liver of NAFLD rats. The liver samples were collected from the rats in Fig. 2. Liver protein levels of TNF-α (A), IL-1β (B), and IL-6 (C) were performed with ELISA kits. The hepatic mRNA expression of TNF-α (D), IL-1β (E), and IL-6 (F) were tested using real-time PCR assay. The data are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 8 per group. ^**P < 0.01 vs. Control group; ^##P < 0.01 vs. HFD group. TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor alpha; IL-1β: interleukin-1 beta; IL-6: interleukin-6
