(e) Positive control (t-BHP-treated rats) showing hepatocyte degeneration with massive lymphocyte and mononuclear cellular aggregation (H&E, ). (f)–(h) Rats pretreated with rooibos, RPO, or their combination before t-BHP treatment, showing almost normal hepatocellular architecture with slight lymphocyte infiltration (H&E, ).
