GK improved liver histology in experimental mice. Untreated mice were kept as a control to compare histological changes induced by NaAsO2. (b) NaAsO2 (10 mg/kg) treated mice liver. The black arrow indicates the dilated portal vein, the pale green arrow indicates the degenerative nucleus, and the yellow arrow indicates blurred cytoplasm. In contrast, cotreatment with GK (20 mg/kg) improved histological changes as compared to NaAsO2 alone. Scale bar 200 μM.
