Abstract

Fig. 3 Effects of resveratrol and piceatannol on CCl4-induced histopathological alterations and collagen deposition in the preventive model. Representative haematoxylin and eosin-stained sections are shown in (A) the control group, (B) CCl4-alone treatment group, (C) the CCl4 + silymarin (200 mg per kg bw) treatment group, (D) CCl4 + resveratrol (30 mg per kg bw) treatment group, (E) CCl4 + piceatannol (30 mg per kg bw) treatment group and (F) CCl4 + piceatannol (60 mg per kg bw) treatment group. The length of the scale bar of (A) to (F) is 60 μm. Arrowheads (↓ and image file: d1fo90103f-u1.tif) in (A) to (F) point to leukocyte infiltration and hepatocyte ballooning degeneration area in liver sections, respectively. Representative Picrosirius red-stained liver sections are shown in (G) the control group, (H) CCl4-alone treatment group, (I) CCl4 + silymarin (200 mg per kg bw) treatment group, (J) CCl4 + resveratrol (30 mg per kg bw) treatment group, (K) CCl4 + piceatannol (30 mg per kg bw) treatment group and (L) CCl4 + piceatannol (60 mg per kg bw) treatment group. (M) Quantification of collagen deposition. The length of scale bar of (G) to (L) is 200 μm. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3). #P < 0.05 denotes a statistical difference as compared to the vehicle group. *P < 0.05 denotes a statistical difference as compared to the CCl4 alone-treated group. SIL, silymarin; R, resveratrol; and P, piceatannol.
