From: Assessing the combined impact of fatty liver-induced TGF-β1 and LPS-activated macrophages in fibrosis through a novel 3D serial section methodology

Figure 3

Serial section-3-dimensional (SS3D) structural analysis of the murine livers. Blood vessel (red), and fibrotic tissues (blue) were detected and superimposed, demonstrating that fibrotic tissues increased in HFD/LPS(+) compared to those of other three groups. The values in the lower right corner indicate the surface volume of blood vessel, the total volume of fibrous tissue, and their respective values, respectively. Other details of the experiment are included in Materials and Methods. HFD, high-fat diet; ND, normal diet; LPS, lipopolysaccharides; F, fibrous tissues (blue); V, blood vessel (red).
