Attenuation of Age-Related Hepatic Steatosis by Dunaliella salina Microalgae in Senescence Rats through the Regulation of Redox Status, Inflammatory Indices, and Apoptotic Biomarkers

Figure 5

Effect of D. salina on hepatic histopathological changes in albino rats with age-related hepatic steatosis. Age-related hepatic steatosis was induced in rats by injections of D-galactose (200 mg/kg I.P) for eight weeks. Rats injected with oral D-galactose for two weeks were treated with BDS (450 mg/kg), PDS (30 mg/kg), CDS (30 mg/kg), or ZH (250 μg/kg). Twenty-four hours later, the last dose of the treatment, rats were sacrificed, and the liver tissue was isolated and fixed with 10% formalin for histopathological examination (40x magnification, H&E).
