Deficiency in Galectin-3 Promotes Hepatic Injury in CDAA Diet-Induced Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Figure 1

Representative photomicrographs showing the effect of choline-deficient L-amino-acid-defined (CDAA) diet on liver histology in gal3^+/+ and gal3^−/− mice. (a) and (b) are week 0 of CDAA diet (Control). In both mice, histopathological differences were not observed. (c) and (d) are week 2. (e) and (f) are week 4. (g) and (h) are week 8 (hematoxylin and eosin staining, original magnification ×100).
