Figure 2. Liver histology from control (C3H) and tx-j mice at 3 weeks of age (21d). All hematoxilin and eosin, 40x. (A) Control (C3H) mouse, untreated; (B) Tx-j mouse, untreated; (C) Control (C3H) treated with choline (no mitotic bodies were identified in this representative sample); (D) Tx-j mouse treated with choline. Tx-j mice livers did not show any significant degree of inflammation, steatosis, or fibrosis. Arrows indicate mitotic bodies. Nuclei diameter was similar in all groups (C3H vs tx-j 63.3 ± 9.4 vs 56.2 ± 8 µm; C3H choline vs tx-j choline 69.4 ± 15.5 vs 63.9 ± 2.8 µm. All P > 0.05).
