Sections of heart from (A-E). (a) control rat shows the normal structure of myocytes with striations and branched appearance, (b) CCl4 administered rat show focal necrosis of muscle fibers with eosinophilia in the cytoplasm. Severe degeneration of the myocytes and congestion of blood vessels, (c) CCl4 and silymarin administered rat show the myocytes that appeared more or less like the control one, (d) CCl4 and MOR-1 (100 mg/kg) administered rat shows the myocytes appeared more or less like the normal. Notice the degeneration of few myocytes, (e) CCl4 and MOR-1 (200 mg/kg) administered rat shows the myocytes appeared more or less like the normal (H & E stain, Scale bar 5 μm).
