UA ameliorates liver damage and hepatic fibrosis in mice with CCI4-induced liver fibrosis. (a): HE staining, Masson’s trichrome staining and Sirius red staining (200× magnification); (b): The levels of ALT, AST and hydroxyproline were measured by ELISA; (c): The degree of fibrosis was assessed by fibrosis scoring and the positive area (%). n = 6 per group. The data are presented as the means±SD in each group. *P < .050, **P < .010 and ***P < .001
