Fig. 3

Shows the HE staining results of liver, stomach, gallbladder, and colon tissues from each group of guinea pigs (magnification ×100). The C group is the control group, the HFD group is the high-fat diet group, and the CD group is the Capsicum Diet. In the liver tissue, the black arrow indicates round vacuoles, the yellow arrow indicates oval-shaped cell proliferation, the red arrow indicates inflammatory cell infiltration, and the blue arrow indicates fibrosis changes. In the stomach tissue, brown indicates irregular changes in gastric glandular tissue, dark blue indicates inflammatory cell infiltration, orange indicates fragmentation of cells within the stomach tissue, green indicates capillary congestion, and purple indicates cystic dilation of the stomach. In the gallbladder tissue, magenta indicates a change in the mucosal epithelial cells from tall columnar epithelium to short columnar epithelium. In the colon tissue, dark gray indicates thinning of the intestinal wall and a reduction in goblet cells, burgundy indicates an increase in submucosal adipocytes, cyan indicates lymphoid tissue proliferation, and dark green indicates inflammatory cell infiltration.
