Figure 6 in Potential Hepatoprotective Effect of Cheatomorpha gracilis extract against High Fat Diet (HFD)-Induced Liver Damage, and its characterization by HPLC

Figure 6. Photomicrographs of hepatocytes in control and experimental treated mice. Liver tissue sections stained with oil red O (×200) (A) and scored (B) by the semi-quantitative percentage of damaged area. (Control) control mice and (AEC) treated with C. gracilis extract (250 mg/kg) alone, showed normal structure. (HFD) high fed diet treated mice, showed a significant increase of lipid content; (AEC + HFD) co-treated with high fed diet and alga extract (250 mg/kg), representative micrograph revealed significantly reduced lipid liver content. Values are expressed as the mean ± SD. **p<0.01; ***p <0.001, indicates a significant difference compared to the control group. ++ p<0.01, indicates a significant difference compared to the HFD alone group.
