Fig. 2.

The effects of SinA on liver pathological changes and liver function. Liver pathological changes were analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining (a) and Oil Red O staining (b). Scale bars = 100 µm. Typical pictures from six independent experiments are shown. Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity (c) and alanine transaminase (ALT) activity (d) were determined with commercial kits. Each experiment was repeated six times. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. The black stars indicate the central vein, the black arrows indicate steatosis, and the green arrows indicate the inflammatory cell infiltration. ALI, alcohol-induced liver injury; SinA, Schisantherin A.
