α-SMA and COL1A1 expression in hepatic tissue. a Hepatic αSMA, and b COL1A1 protein expression were determined in hepatic tissue of 6 weeks fed CHOW or HFCD in Balb/c (WT) or CD1d-KO mice, males or females, by immunoblot, n = 1–2 for chow groups, n = 3 for HFCD groups. c mRNA expression of αSMA and COL1A1, n = 5. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.001 vs. corresponding HFCD-groups
