Fig. 2From: Potent hepatoprotective activity of common rattan (Calamus rotang L.) leaf extract and its molecular mechanismPhotomicrograph of a liver sections stained with H & E (A-C) and semithin sections stained by Toluidine blue (D-F). A, D showing the normal architecture of hexagonal liver lobules with apparently intact hepatocyte, central vein (CV), and blood sinusoids (S). B, E Liver section of rat treated with CCl4, showing distortion of the normal hepatocyte’s appearance with vacuolated cytoplasm, congested portal (PV) and central veins, as well as dilated blood sinusoids, mononuclear cellular infiltration (arrow) and steatosis (arrow heads). C, F Liver section of rat treated with CR extract group, showing the hepatocytes appearance improved with lesser and smaller vacuolesBack to article page
