Figure 3: Vinyl chloride alone does not cause overt liver injury but enhances diet-induced liver disease.

Figure 3:

(A) Body weight and food consumption were monitored weekly. (B) Representative photomicrographs of general liver morphology by H&E staining are shown (magnification = 200x). (C) Citrated plasma was collected at the end of the exposure period and analyzed for transaminase enzymatic activity as an index of liver damage. (D) Liver weight was determined at different experimental time points and compared to whole body weight. Results are presented as the mean ± SEM.a, p < 0.05 compared to respective LFD control;b, p < 0.05 compared to absence of VC. Samples size per group n = 8–10.
