Changing Interdigestive Migrating Motor Complex in Rats under Acute Liver Injury

Figure 1

Representative H&E-stained liver tissue sections of rats that were injected with D-galactosamine (1.2 g/kg intraperitoneally) for induction of acute liver injury. (a) Sham-operated animals without liver injury served as controls. (b) Liver tissue from rats with acute liver injury exhibited disruption of the general architecture and microvascular disintegration, as well as tissue apoptosis and necrosis. Morphological changes, such as vacuolization, swollen cytoplasm with disrupted cell, and organelle membranes, as well as lytic nuclear changes served to determine necrosis. H&E: hematoxylin and eosin.
