Ginsenosides Rg1 from Panax ginseng: A Potential Therapy for Acute Liver Failure Patients?

Figure 1

Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. (a) TUNEL+ cells were wildly distributed in the ALF group, but very few were observed in the CON group (all fields: 10x magnification). (b) After G-Rg1 treatment, the number of TUNEL-positive cells in both the and groups was significantly less than that of the ALF group (). The data graphed in (b) are not directly representative of the field in (a); in order to make the graph more statistically robust, (b) displays the average number of TUNEL+ cells for each experimental group derived from sampling 10 independent fields of view for each experimental group under 40x magnification.
