Fig. 6: Macroscopic and microscopic changes observed in livers of HFFC-fed pigs.
From: Meta-inflammation and endotoxemia in a highly translational porcine model of diet-induced obesity
a, Livers from pigs in the HFFC group displayed steatosis (right), while livers from pigs in the SD group were normal (left). Histopathological examination was performed on pigs from both the HFFC (n = 4) and SD (n = 4) groups. b, Histological analysis of the liver from an SD-fed pig. Arrowheads, sinusoidal space; star, central vein; arrow, portal arteriole. c, Liver from HFFC-fed pig. Arrowheads, microvesicular lipids; star, central vein; arrow, portal arteriole. d, Liver from HFFC-fed pig. Arrowheads, large lipid vacuoles; star, central vein; arrow: portal arteriole. Scale bars, 200 µm (b–d).
