Hepatic mitochondrial phospholipidome in models of MASLD/MASH.

(A) Schematic for mitochondrial phospholipidomic analyses in human liver samples. (B) Representative H&E staining of healthy or MASH livers. Arrows indicate fibrotic liver tissue. The diagnosis was based on obvious bridging fibrosis and/or regenerative nodules on H&E staining. (C, D) Hepatic mitochondrial CL and PG levels in healthy controls or individuals with MASH (n = 10 and 16 per group). Data are shown as total FA chain length:number of double bonds.

(E) Pathway for CL biosynthesis. (F–J) Representative H&E and Masson’s Trichrome staining of livers from mice under various MAFLD conditions: chow vs. Western HFD (16 weeks), wildtype vs. ob/ob (20 weeks), chow vs. GAN diet (30 weeks), and vehicle vs. carbon tetrachloride (6 weeks: 0.7 µl/g BW, twice weekly). (J–M) Western blot of OXPHOS subunits and citrate synthase in liver tissues from the same MAFLD models. (N–Q) Heatmaps of hepatic mitochondrial phospholipidomes from the same MAFLD models.
