Section of the liver of Wistar rats (H & E x 250) (A): Photomicrograph of the transverse section of liver of Wistar rats administered 2 ml/kg H20 (control group) with normal histoarchitectural features. H&E ×250. CV: Central vein; K: Kupffer cell; H: Hepatocytes; S: Sinusoids. (B): Photomicrograph of the transverse section of liver of Wistar rats administered HgCl2 with distorted histoarchitectural features. H&E ×250. cCV: Congested central vein; N: Pyknotic nuclei; D: Sinusoidal dilatation; V: Hepatocellular vacuolation. (C): Photomicrograph of the transverse section of liver of Wistar rats administered 500 mg/kg BFPD and HgCl2 with normal histoarchitectural distortion. H&E ×250. CV: Central vein; H: Hepatocytes. (D): Photomicrograph of the transverse section of liver of Wistar rats administered 1000 mg/kg BFPD and HgCl2 with mild distorted histoarchitectural features. H&E ×250. cCV: Congested central vein; H: Hepatocytes. (E): Photomicrograph of the transverse section of liver of Wistar rats administered with silymarin and HgCl2 showing relatively normal histoarchitectural features. H&E ×250. H: Hepatocytes; CV: Central vein
