Mild steatosis and liver injury in mice with HHcy. A: H&E staining of liver sections from unoperated mice did not reveal changes in liver tissue structure. However, livers of HHcy mice by H&E and oil red O stains show persisting fat accumulation (indicated by arrow). Liver damage was assessed by measuring plasma levels of ALT (B) and AST (C) in sera from mice after partial hepatectomy. Results are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 5 per group at each time point). *P < 0.05 versus control (CTR).
