FC improves hepatic steatosis in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. A The time course of body weight within HFD-induced and FC administration. B The liver weight was examined. C The liver/body weight ratio was calculated. D-F The levels of hepatic TC, TG, and LDL-c were detected. TC, total cholesterol; TG, Triglyceride; LDL-c, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol. Simvastatin (Sim, 40 mg/kg) acted as the positive control group. Each value represents as means ± S.E.M. of triplicate experiments. ^# P < 0.01 as compared with the control group. ^* P < 0.05, ^** P < 0.01, and ^*** P < 0.001 as compared with the HFD-induced group
