Fig. 2.
(1) Sections in control no infected mice with normal hepatic lobular architecture ((H&E stain and Picro-Sirius red stains, × 100). (2) Section in control non-treated liver tissue showing normal hepatic architecture with no excess deposition of fibrous tissue (H&E stain and Picro-Sirius red stains, × 100). (3) Section in liver of group (2) showing deposition of fibrous tissue, mostly in the portal tract (H&E stain and Picro-Sirius red stains, × 200). (4) Sections in liver of group (3 and 4) showing deposition of variable amounts of fibrous tissue in hepatic parenchyma and the portal tract (H&E stain and Picro-Sirius red stains, × 200). (5) Liver section in group (5) showing nearly preserved hepatic lobular architecture, with no evidence of fibrosis or nodular transformation (H&E stain and Picro-Sirius red × 100). (6) Liver section in group 6 showing nearly preserved hepatic lobular architecture, with no evidence of fibrosis or nodular transformation (H&E stain, Picro-Sirius red X100). No other significant histopathological changes were detected within different groups concerning hepatocytic degeneration or lobular inflammation
