Scoring results of lesion in the liver of control and lead-administered rats after 4 weeks of lead-induction.

Pathological parameters Control LTG Mann Whitney U test (p < value)
Activated Kupffer cells 0.4 ± 0.24 2.3 ± 0.2* 0.0079
Sign of necrosis 0.2 ± 0.2 2.5 ± 0.16* 0.0079
Vacuolation (fatty changes) 0.2 ± 0.2 2.6 ± 0.19* 0.0079
Inflammatory cell infiltration 0.2 ± 0.2 2.3 ± 0.26* 0.0079
Karyolysis 0.2 ± 0.2 2.3 ± 0.13* 0.0079
Pyknosis 0.2 ± 0.2 2.5 ± 0.16* 0.0079
