Rat Strain Differences in Susceptibility to Alcohol-Induced Chronic Liver Injury and Hepatic Insulin Resistance

Figure 3

Rat strain differences in susceptibility to alcohol-induced hepatic fibrosis: histological sections of liver were stained with Sirius red to detect collagen. Photomicrographs depict livers from (a, c, e) control or (b, d, f) ethanol-exposed (a), (b) FS, (c), (d) LE, or (e), (f) SD rats. Note more prominent peri-hepatocyte Sirius red-positive collagen fibrils in ethanol-exposed livers and more extensive labeling in LE compared with FS and SD ethanol-fed rats. Original magnification: 650x.
