Evaluation of Hepatoprotective Effect of Curcumin on Liver Cirrhosis Using a Combination of Biochemical Analysis and Magnetic Resonance-Based Electrical Conductivity Imaging

Figure 4

Histological observation of fibrotic liver tissues after curcumin and lactulose treatment. Sections obtained by frozen section were subjected to H&E staining. DMN (10 mg/kg) or sterile saline was injected into the rat peritoneum three times per week for 4 weeks. A solution of curcumin, lactulose, or normal saline was given daily through oral administration for 28 days.
