Figure 8
Photomicrograph of a liver stained with MT stain (×100). The control group (G1) and DC-IL10-treated group (G4) showing normal distribution of collagen fibers in the portal areas. The model group (G2) showing marked fibrous bridging with excessive collagen fiber deposition. The DC-mock-treated group (G4) showing slight attenuation of collagen fibers distribution and deposition. G1: control group; G2: model group; G3: DC-mock-treated group; G4: DC-IL10-treated group.
