Effect of lactoferrin on liver lipid droplets in Oil Red O stain.

Following eight weeks of lactoferrin administration (0, 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg), the area (%) and number of lipid droplets were significantly higher in the control group than the naïve group (P<0.05). The area (%) and number of lipid droplets were significantly lower in the lactoferrin-treated groups than in the control group (P<0.05). Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 10), and were analyzed using one-way ANOVAs and Duncan's multiple range test. a–c: Different letters in the same row indicate a significant difference (P<0.05).
