Amelioration of Single Clove Black Garlic Aqueous Extract on Dyslipidemia and Hepatitis in Chronic Carbon Tetrachloride Intoxicated Swiss Albino Mice

Figure 3

Effect of black garlic extract on gross morphology of liver from experimental mice. In gross examination, livers of normal mice showed a normal appearance with redness and soft texture, and glistering and smooth surface (a). SBE control groups showed no remarkable difference in gross morphology with livers from normal mice (b). Livers of CCl₄ intoxicated mice revealed an enlargement of livers and changed in color (pale-brown), hardness (hard texture), and coarse surface of livers as compared with livers from control group (c). Livers of coadministered CCl₄ and SBE mice improved the redness and hardness (semihard texture) but appeared slightly coarse surface comparing with CCl₄ intoxicated mice (d). Our data support the strong evidence of protective effect of black garlic extract on the change of liver morphology in CCl₄ treated mice.
