Liver from broilers administered azithromycin (Az) with escalating doses. (a) From control group showing normal hepatocytes (blue arrowhead) radiating around central vein (black arrowhead) (hematoxylin and eosin [H&E], scale bar: 200). (b) No positive reaction for caspases 3 (immunohistochemistry [IHC] stain, scale bar: 200). (c) From group Az 200 mg/kg at 3rd-day post-treatment. Congestion and hemorrhage of sinusoids (black arrowhead), focal areas of coagulative necrosis (black arrow), and newly formed blood vessels (blue arrowhead) (H&E, scale bar: 200). (d) Strong positive reaction for caspases-3 in hepatocytes (black arrowhead) and bile ductal epithelium (black arrow) (IHC stain, scale bar: 50). (e) From group Az 200 mg/kg at 7th-day post-treatment. Vacuolar degeneration allover hepatic parenchyma (black arrowhead) (H&E, scale bar: 200).
