Liver photomicrographs. A) Vehicle control showed normal architecture of normal liver histology, central vein (CV), hepatocytes (H). B) Hepatotoxic liver after treatment with CCl4 showing ere necrosis (N) of the hepatocytes in parenchyma region, as well as macrovesicular steatosis (S). C) Pre-treatment with 200 mg/kg of Silymarin, positive control preserves normal architecture of the hepatocytes. D) Pre-treatment with 50 mg/kg of MEDL showing mild necrosis with mild infiltration of inflammatory cell E) Pre-treatment with 250 mg/kg of MEDL showing mild macrovesicular steatosis and absent to few degree of hepatocyte necrosis. F) Pre-treatment with 500 mg/kg of MEDL showing macrovesicular steatosis around central vein region. H & E staining, 40 × magnifications.
