(a) High magnification image of liver tissue from a control male mouse showing few collagenous fibers around hepatocytes (arrow) or the central vein (cv). (b and c) Liver tissue from an AC group mouse showed large amounts of collagenous fibers (arrows) among hepatocytes and around the cv. (d) Liver tissues from AC + Cur and (e) AC + NCur group mice showing minimal amounts of collagenous fibers (arrow) around the cv (picrosirrus stain Bar = 50 μm). (f) Percentage liver fibrosis scores. Columns with different letters are significantly different (p < 0.001).
