In Vivo Evaluation of Ethanolic Extract of Zingiber officinale Rhizomes for Its Protective Effect against Liver Cirrhosis
Figure 1
Gross morphology shows the effects of ERZO on thioacetamide TAA induced liver damage in rats. (a) Normal control group shows a regular and smooth surface. (b) Animals treated with TAA show many micronodules (arrowhead) and macronodules in the liver (arrow). (c) Animals treated with TAA + silymarin showing normal smooth surface. (d) Animals treated with TAA + ERZO 250 mg/kg and (e) animals treated with TAA + ERZO 500 mg/kg. Both low dose and high dose of ERZO were having normal smooth surface and nearly preserve the liver normal anatomical shape and appearance.
