High Fat Diet and Liver Fibrosis (IMAGE) Experimental Biology Caption The researchers found that offspring of pregnant mice that consumed a high fat diet developed liver fibrosis, a type of tissue scarring that is a sign that more serious disease will develop. The top row is H/E staining and the bottom row Sirius red staining, which shows fibrosis. The top labels show the maternal diet first and post-weaning diet second (CD = control diet; HFD = high-fat diet). Credit Michael Thompson, MD, PhD, Nationwide Children's Hospital.
