Figure 4

Lobe-specific changes in representative liver tissue from week 6 in the sham, pBDL, and CE-MRI groups comparing the unligated right lobe to the ligated left lobe in mice. (A) HE (original magnification, 400×) stain showing increased inflammatory cells (dark blue) in the ligated lobe of the pBDL and CE-MRI groups. (B) Masson stain (original magnification, 50×) showing significant fibrosis formation (collagen fibers, blue) in the ligated lobe of the pBDL and CE-MRI groups. HE, hematoxylin and eosin; Sham, only suture the abdominal wall. pBDL, partial bile duct ligation surgery alone; CE-MRI, repeated contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging under anesthesia in the pBDL model.
