Mitofusin-2 Restrains Hepatic Stellate Cells’ Proliferation via PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway and Inhibits Liver Fibrosis in Rats

Figure 4

Liver tissue damage and interstitial fibrosis gradually deteriorated under the influence of CCl₄. (a) HE and Masson staining of liver tissue harvested from each group at the 14^th, 28^th, 42^nd and 56^th day after the first injection of CCl₄/olive oil (magnification × 100). (b) Score graded by the laennec fibrosis scoring system of each group. CCl₄: carbon tetrachloride.
