Figure 2.

Hepatic fibrosis in wt and FHL2-deficient mice after CCl₄ challenge. Liver specimens of CCl₄-treated animals were stained with (A-D) Sirius Red and representative images were made using a standard light microscope (100x). Relative collagen deposition was further quantified by (E) densitometry or by measuring (F) direct hepatic hydroxyproline content. Non significant differences (ns), significant differences (*), and highly significant differences (**-***) are marked.
