Activation of Biodefense System by Low-Dose Irradiation or Radon Inhalation and Its Applicable Possibility for Treatment of Diabetes and Hepatopathy
Figure 9
Differences in liver histopathology between acatalasemic (a) and normal (b) mice under non-treated control (A) CCl4 administration (B), 0.5 Gy X-irradiation (C), or 0.5 Gy irradiation prior to CCl4 administration (D). All figures under lower magnification (X 100) are stained with Sudan Black B (black-colored) for the detection of fatty degeneration surrounding the central vein (C) and the portal vein (P). The areas of cell necrosis surrounding the central vein in the CCl4-administrated mice after 0.5 Gy X-irradaiation were smaller in both mice in comparison with the CCl4-administrated mice. No obvious difference was noted in the extent of the centrilobular hepatocyte damage by nontreatment or 0.5 Gy X-irradiation in both mice [17].
