Light micrographs of the periportal zone of hepatic lobule of the rats showing (A): normal portal tract (PT) consisting of bile ductule (D), hepatic arteriole (A) and portal venule (V) in control rats. The tracts are surrounded by a network of hepatic cords (H) with blood sinusoids (S) in-between. (B): In aged garlic extract-treated rats; congested portal venules (V) are seen within the portal tract. (C): In cisplatin-treated rats; wide portal tract (PT) with dilated congested portal venule (V), hyperplastic bile ductule (D) are seen within the periportal area. (D): In combined aged garlic extract and cisplatin-treated rats; normal portal tract with congested portal venule (V) is observed in periportal area. E: endothelial cells; K: kupffer cells; N: nucleus. H & E stain. Bar = 20, 50 μm.
