Increased expression of HGF at the fibrotic foci (portal and capsular) correlates with reduction in fibrotic markers. Confocal micrographs of liver tissue sections stained for α-SMA (red) and HGF (green) (A). The rats treated with VALH complexes had higher levels of HGF protein (B) and lower levels of α-SMA (C), TGF-β1 (D), and Collagen I (E) at the fibrotic foci. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.
