Figure 2

(a) Swimming exercise training effect on liver pathology in D-galactose induced rat aging model. C: vehicle treatment with sedentary control ( ); A: aging induction with sedentary control ( ); SW: vehicle treatment with swimming exercise ( ); A + SW: aging induction with a 12-week swimming exercise ( ). Representative hepatic sections of rats from each group stained with H&E. Scale bars, 50 μm. (Magnification, 200x). (b) Swimming exercise training effect on liver fibrosis in D-galactose induced rat aging model. C: vehicle treatment with sedentary control ( ); A: aging induction with sedentary control ( ); SW: vehicle treatment with swimming exercise ( ); A + SW: aging induction with a 12-week swimming exercise ( ). Histological sections of the liver from each group stained with Masson trichrome (fibrosis: blue color). Scale bars, 200 μm. (Magnification, 200x).
