Protective Effects of Nutria Bile against Thioacetamide-Induced Liver Injury in Mice

Figure 3

Effect of nutria bile administration on the histopathology in TAA-induced liver injury. (a) H&E staining of liver tissues. Centrilobular necrosis and mononuclear cell infiltration were increased by TAA injection, but decreased by bile administration. Original magnification: 200×. (b) Inflammation score. Bile treatment groups had a significant decrease in inflammation compared to NC. (c) H&E staining and IHC (CD68) of liver tissues. Mononuclear cells in inflammation areas of NC were positive to CD68. The number of positive cells dramatically decreased in B10. Original magnifications: 200×, 400× (inset). Values are expressed as mean ± S.D. p < 0.05 and #p < 0.01 compared to NC.
