Figure 4 Sonic hedgehog expression correlates with the grade of hepatocyte ballooning.
A-D: Photomicrographs of sonic hedgehog immu nohistochemistry in patients with grade 0 (A), 1 (B), and 2 (C and D) ballooning show increased numbers of positive cells with increased ballooning grade (arrows, 200 × magnification). Sonic hedgehog expression was plotted relative to the grade of hepatocyte ballooning, as scored by the Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Clinical Research Network Pathology Committee.
