Figure Lengend Snippet: (1) Effect of emodin on pathological manifestation of hepatic tissue by HE staining at 400× magnification ( A : emodin 20 mg/kg group; B : emodin 40 mg/kg group; C : emodin 80 mg/kg group; D : UDCA group; E : DXM group; F : model group; G : control group). (2) Effect of emodin on BSEP expression was examined with IHC at 400× magnification ( A : emodin 20 mg/kg group; B : emodin 40 mg/kg group; C : emodin 80 mg/kg group; D : UDCA group; E : DEX group; F : model group; G : control group. Values are the means ± SD. n = 3, ## P < 0.01 compared to the control group, ∗∗ P < 0.01 compared to the model group; p < 0.01 compared to the UDCA group; ΔΔ p < 0.01 compared to the DXM group, as determined by Student’s t -test). (3) Effect of emodin on FXR1 expression was examined with IHC at 400× magnification ( A : emodin 20 mg/kg group; B : emodin 40 mg/kg group; C : emodin 80 mg/kg group; D : UDCA group; E : DXM group; F : model group; G : control group. Values are the means ± SD. n = 3, ## P < 0.01 compared to the control group, ∗∗ P < 0.01 compared to the model group; p < 0.01 compared to the UDCA group; ΔΔ p < 0.01 compared to the DXM group, as determined by Student’s t -test). (4) Effect of emodin on FXR2 expression was examined with IHC at 400× magnification ( A : emodin 20 mg/kg group; B : emodin 40 mg/kg group; C : emodin 80 mg/kg group; D : UDCA group; E : DEX group; F : model group; G : control group. Values are the means ± SD. n = 3, ## P < 0.01 compared to the control group, ∗∗ P < 0.01 compared to the model group; p < 0.01 compared to the UDCA group; ΔΔ p < 0.01 compared to the DXM group, as determined by Student’s t -test).
