Fig. 6From: β-sitosterol attenuates high- fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis in rats by modulating lipid metabolism, inflammation and ER stress pathwayPhotomicrographs of liver tissue section showing: (A) normal histological structure of hepatic lobules and organization of hepatic cords (Control group) (B) liver tissue section had ballooning hepatocyte degeneration together with narrowing hepatic sinusoids. There were a few intracellular fat droplets and hyperplasia of kuffper cells (grade III) (HFD fed group) (C) liver tissue had hyperplasia of kuffper cells, mild hepatocyte enlargement, and granularity in its cytoplasm (grade I) (HFD + βSito group) (H&EX400)Back to article page
