Effect of FZHY and hemin on hepatic α-SMA and TGF-β1 expression in MCD diet-induced fibrosing steatohepatitis. mRNA expression of α-SMA (A1) and TGF-β1 (B1) were determined by quantitative real-time PCR; protein levels of α-SMA (A2) and TGF-β1 (B2) were detected by Western blot. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 6 per group). *P < 0.001, compared with control group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, compared with MCD group; $P < 0.05, $$P < 0.01, compared with MCD + FZHY group; ΔP < 0.05, ΔΔP < 0.01, compared with MCD + Hemin group.
