Experimental study of effect of Ganyanping on fibrosis in rat livers

Figure 1 Loss of normal lobular architecture, some had pseudo lobule formation in the CCl₄ intoxicated groups. HE × 100.

Figure 2 Steatosis was not severe and fibrosis was not so pronounced, without any pseudo -lobule formation in the Ganyanping-treated groups. HE × 100.

Figure 3 The numbers of hepatic stellate cells and collagen fibrils increased in Disse's space and hepatocellular degeneration were frequently seen in the CCl₄ intoxicated groups. × 4000.

Figure 4 Most of hepatocytes showed basically normal ultrastructure and a few lipid droplets were found in the cytoplasm in the Ganyanping-treated groups. × 4000.

Figure 5 Hepatic parenchyma separated by the rough, red-stained fibrotic septa in the CCl₄ intoxicated groups. VG × 200.

Figure 6 Collagen fibrosis was less pronounced in the Ganyanping-treated groups. VG × 200.

Figure 7 Increase in the activities of MAO(+++) in the CCl₄ intoxicated groups. × 75.

Figure 8 Decrease in the activities of MAO in the Ganyanping-treated groups (++). × 75.
