WEA improves hepatic lipid metabolic gene expression in NAFLD rats. The liver samples were collected from the rats in Fig. 2. The hepatic mRNA expression of SREBP1c (A), SCD1 (B), FASN (C), and PPARα (D) 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 < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 vs. HFD group; $P < 0.04 vs. HFD + WEA 0.4 group. SREBP1c: sterol regulatory element binding protein 1c; SCD1: stearoyl-coA desaturase 1; FASN: fatty acid synthase; PPARα: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha
