Figure 3

Representative photomicrographs of HE staining for observing the morphology of livers from different groups (×200). (a,c) The normal diet (ND) group, normal histoarchitecture of the hepatic tissues. (b,d) The ethanol diet (ED) group, increased hepatocyte steatosis with inflammation and ballooning. (e) The ED + rhCygb (3 mg/kg, EDC) group, decreased fatty degeneration and regeneration in hepatocytes. (f) The ED + glutathione (120 mg/kg, EDG) group, decreased fatty accumulation but extensive ballooning in hepatocytes. The scale bar represents 25 μm.
