Potential Probiotic Escherichia coli 16 Harboring the Vitreoscilla Hemoglobin Gene Improves Gastrointestinal Tract Colonization and Ameliorates Carbon Tetrachloride Induced Hepatotoxicity in Rats
Figure 5
Effect of probiotic E. coli 16 (pUC8:16gfp) encoding vgb gene on CCL4-induced histopathological changes in different groups of rats: (a) photomicrograph of liver from Group II [control rat with probiotic E. coli 16 (pUC8:16gfp)], (b) photomicrograph of liver from Group III (rat treated with CCL4), (c) photomicrograph of liver from Group V [rat treated with CCL4 along with probiotic E. coli 16 (pUC8:16gfp)], and (d) photomicrograph of liver from Group IV [rat treated with CCL4 along with probiotic E. coli 16 (pUC-gfp)] as vector control. Haematoxylin and eosin were used for staining the paraffin-embedded sections.
