    Naringin Ameliorates Liver Fibrosis in Zebrafish by Modulating IDO1-Mediated Lipid Metabolism and Inflammatory Infiltration

    Scientists utilized zebrafish to create the liver fibrosis model and investigate the therapeutic mechanism of naringin. They evaluated the changes in hepatic fibrosis and lipid accumulation in the liver following naringin treatment with oil red O, Nile red, and Sirius red and immunohistochemistry.
