YQRG alleviates CCl4-induced liver fibrosis in rats. a Masson staining (Scale bar = 200 μm, n = 6) of rat livers and α-SMA were detected by immunohistochemistry (Scale bar = 100 μm, n = 6). b Serum HA, LN, PC-III, and IV-C content (n = 6). c HYP contents in liver tissues (n = 6). d Western blot image showing α-SMA expression in liver tissues (n = 6). e Protein concentration analysis (n = 6). f–h mRNA expression of α-SMA, MMP9, TIMP1 were detected by PCR (n = 6). Data values are indicated as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, vs. control group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001, vs. model group
