Cleaved caspase‐3 and PARP immunoreactivities in the CCl₄ damaged liver. (a) Intact control (Distilled water and olive oil treated mice). (b) CCl₄ control (Distilled water and CCl₄ 0.5 ml/kg treated mice). (c) Silymarin control (Silymarin 100 mg/kg and CCl₄ 0.5 ml/kg treated mice). (d) BHw (BHw 200 mg/kg and CCl₄ 0.5 ml/kg treated mice). (e) BHj (BHj 200 mg/kg and CCl₄ 0.5 ml/kg treated mice). (f) BHe (BHe 200 mg/kg and CCl₄ 0.5 ml/kg treated mice). BH: Blue honeysuckle (Berries of Lonicera caerulea var. edulis L., Caprifoliaceae); BHw: lyophilized powder of BH aqueous extract; BHj: lyophilized powder of BH squeezed juice; BHe: lyophilized powder of BH enzyme extract; CV: Central vein; PARP: Poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase. Immunoreactive cells were stained by avidin‐biotin‐peroxidase methods. Scale bars = 120 μm
