Hepatoprotective Effect of Fermented Soybean (Nutrient Enriched Soybean Tempeh) against Alcohol-Induced Liver Damage in Mice
Figure 1
Histopathological microsection of liver of different experimental groups. The histopathological microsection of liver was stained with hematoxylin and eosin and captured via the light microscope with the magnification of 10 × 10. (a) Normal control with normal structure of liver cells, (b) ethanol control with a several-hepatocyte condition which has developed a microvesicular steatosis as indicated by the dashed line arrows, (c) positive control with a minimal condition of microvesicular steatosis, (d) 50% ETOH + 200 mg/kg SBE-treated group with the obvious development of microvesicular steatosis, (e) 50% ETOH + 1000 mg/kg SBE-treated group with recovery effect from microvesicular steatosis, (f) 50% ETOH + 200 mg/kg NESTE-treated group with some obvious development of microvesicular steatosis, and (g) 50% ETOH + 1000 mg/kg NESTE-treated group with recovery effect from microvesicular steatosis. H = hepatocyte, S = sinusoidal space, hepatocyte developed with microvesicular steatosis.
