From: Short-term periodic consumption of multiprobiotic from childhood improves insulin sensitivity, prevents development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and adiposity in adult rats with glutamate-induced obesity

	Intact group (n = 20)	MSG-obesity (n = 20)	MSG-probiotic (n = 20)
Steatosis (0-3)	0.10 ± 0.1^a	2.15 ± 0.16^b	0.85 ± 0.13^c
Lobular inflammation (0-2)	0.0 ± 0.0^a	0.95 ± 0.15^b	0.1 ± 0.06^a
Ballooning degeneration (0–2)	0.0 ± 0.0^a	0.15 ± 0.08^a	0.0 ± 0.0^a
Total NAS (0–8)	0.10 ± 0.1^a	3.3 ± 0.28^b	0.95 ± 0.15^c

Data are presented as the M ± SEM. One-way ANOVA with post hoc comparisons by Fisher LSD test were performed for data analysis. ^a, ^b, ^c: shows significant differences in the same row (p < 0.05).
