Table 1
Weight and morphological characteristics of rat livers from the four experimental groups used in the present study. Means and observations were derived from 5 animals in each group. Histological damage was scored into four damage levels: absent (0), mild (+), moderate (++), and severe (+++). The software Image-Pro Plus 4.5 was used to estimate the percentage of liver degeneration. For additional experimental details and a more complete description of the experimental groups see Section 2.
