a: Schematic diagram for the liver acoustic attenuation coefficient “a” calculated from control, simple steatosis, and steatohepatitis. Area 1: near the source of ultrasound; Area 2: far away from the source of ultrasound; L: length between the two circles, Area 1 and Area 2. b: Acoustic attenuation coefficient in all mice from 4 groups at month 2, month 6 and month 10. c: Acoustic attenuation coefficient in mice diagnosed with steatosis, steatohepatitis and steatohepatitis with HCC. The data represent means ± SD. *, p < 0.05 vs CD control; #, p < 0.05 vs steatosis
