(AGE)-rich diet induces liver damage in diabetic mice rather than control mice. Liver morphology of control and diabetic mice (a). H & E staining of liver tissue (b). Semi-quantitative evaluation of steatosis, lymphatic infiltration, and vacuolation in liver tissues (c). Values were expressed as mean ± SD (n = 5 per group). ##p < 0.01 indicates a statistically significant difference in diabetic mice in comparison to the control mice. Data were analyzed by t-tests. Liver damage were scored by a pathologist after observing the samples of H & E staining
