Lycopene: Hepatoprotective and Antioxidant Effects toward Bisphenol A-Induced Toxicity in Female Wistar Rats

Figure 2

Immunohistochemical reaction of caspase-3 in livers of female Wistar rats. (a) Control group (b), LYC-treated (10 mg/kg) control, (c) BPA-treated (10 mg/kg) group, and (d) BPA (10 mg/kg) and LYC (10 mg/kg) cotreated group. Control and LYC groups show week immunoreactivity of caspase-3 while BPA-treated group exhibited higher immunoreactivity. The LYC coadministration with BPA shows amelioration of caspase-3 immunoreactivity than that in BPA alone.
