Photomicrographs of liver sectionsfrom a Control rats showing normal liver histology: Black arrow heads indicatenormal portal vein and hepatocytes with well fenestrated sinusoidal space, b rats intoxicated with CCl4on the 8th day c rats treated with 250 mg/kg bw.TC seed for 7 days,thereafter intoxicated with CCl4 on the 8th day d rats treated with 500 mg/kg bw.TC seed for 7 days,thereafter intoxicated with CCl4 on the 8th day e rats intoxicated with CCl4and then given methanol extract of TCseed (250 mg/kg body weight orally) at 1 h, 6 h, 12 h, 18 h and 24 h f rats intoxicated with CCl4and then given methanol extract of TCseed (500 mg/kg body weight orally) at 1 h, 6 h, 12 h, 18 h and 24 h. The liver sections were stained with H/E and observed with a 10X objective. Arrow heads (Orange): Vesicular steatosis/fatty accumulation; (Dark Red): Extensive hemorrhagic necrosis; (Light Red): Mild hemorrhagic necrosis; (Green): Mild portal hepatitis. TC: Tetracarpidium conophorum
