Photomicrographs for liver sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). (a) Control rat showing the normal hepatocytes architecture. (b) Rats liver treated with CCl4 showing severe hepatic lesions, degenerated and ballooned/necrotic hepatocytes with lymphocyte cells infiltration (corner). (c) Liver treated with physalis similar to control group. (d) Rat liver treated with physalis + CCl4 showing maintained hepatic architecture, with minimal damage. Original magnification 400x.
