Schematic representation of EMF generator with Helmholz coil and effects of EMF on the weight of body and liver, serum TG level and hepatic lipid deposition. A The EMF pulsed burst consists of 5 ms burst width, 0.2 μs pulse rise, 0.02 ms pulse wait, 60 ms burst wait, 0.3 μs pulse rise and 0.2 μs pulse fall and repeated at 15 Hz. B Data of body weight (n = 5). C Data of liver weight (n = 5). D Data of serum TG level (n = 5). E Statistical analysis of hepatic Oil Red O staining dyeing area. F Representative images of hepatic Oil Red O staining. Values are all expressed as mean ± SD. Scale bar is 50 μm. *P < 0.05, compared with control. ^#P < 0.05, compared with HFD. The black arrows indicate significant lipid accumulation
