NAFLD

B6/129, C57Bl6/J and S129S1/svlmJ mice

Mice (8–12 weeks old) were fed ad libitum a high-fat diet, high carbohydrate diet with 42% kcal from fat and containing 0.1% cholesterol with a high fructose-glucose solution (23.1 g/L d-fructose + 18.9 g/L d-glucose). Obesity, liver injury, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance were observed between 32 and 52 weeks.

Liver fibrosis

No special instructions

Mice were intraperitoneally injected with a 1:7 (volume/volume) mixture of CCL4: olive oil every 5 days (a total of 0.125 mL/g CCL4 per injection) for 4 weeks to induce established fibrosis, and harvested 3 days after the final injection.

Liver fibrosis

C57BL/6NCrl mice

Mice with a body weight between 20 and 25 g were pretreated with phenobarbital (0.3 g/L) dissolved in drinking water. Twice a week, 2 milliliters of a 50% (v/v) CCL4 solution, containing 1.0 mL per kg of body weight of CCL4 dissolved in liquid paraffin oil, was injected subcutaneously on the back.
