Fig 9. Liver lesion assessment II.

Liver lesion assessment revealed necrosis, steatosis, and congestion and was scored as 0–3 (min/med/max), cell nuclei diameters (μm), area of cell cytoplasm (μm²), double nuclei cell number (means ± SD) in untreated 24 h-short bowel-rats (SBS) and those administered diclofenac (D, 12 mg/kg intraperitoneally). BPC 157 (Bμ and Bn, 10 μg/kg and 10 ng/kg, respectively), L-NAME (N, 5 mg/kg), and L-arginine (A, 100 mg/kg) were administered alone or combined while controls were administered equivolume saline (5 mL/kg) intraperitoneally. *P < 0.05 vs. control.
