Hepatic collagen deposition. Stain: Gomori ammoniacal silver. μm. (a) Control group (CG). (b) Oil group (OG). (c) Group exposed to CS (CSG). (d) Group pretreated with lycopene 25 mg/kg/day (L25CSG). (e) Group pretreated with lycopene 50 mg/kg/day (L50CSG). (f) Volume density (Vvcol) of collagen fibers. Data were expressed as . Statistical analysis: one-way ANOVA test followed by Tukey’s posttest. A represents a significant difference between CSG and CG; C represents a significant difference between CSG and L50CSG, .
