(a) Hepatic tissues of rat from the negative control group showing normal hepatic tissue. (b) Hepatic tissue of rat from hypercholesterolemic positive control group showing ballooning of hepatocytes, fatty changes, and inflammation. (c) Hepatic tissues photomicrography of hypercholesterolemic rat from group (3) pretreated parsley methanol extract, nearly showing normal hepatocytes. (d) Hepatic tissues of hypercholesterolemic rat from group (4) treated with carob methanol extract, showing nearly normal hepatocytes (H&E. ×200).
