A: A photomicrograph of liver of control group showing normal histological architecture with central vein (CV), the hepatic cells with nucleus (N) and the sinusoids (S). B: A photomicrograph of liver of CCL4 group showing microvesicular (Mi) macrovesicular (Ma) fatty changes of hepatocytes, centrilobular necrosis in most cases, ballooning degeneration (arrowhead) broad mononuclear cells infiltration mostly around central veins and in portal areas with mild fibrous tissues (arrow)., loss of the usual hepatic architecture, deep acidophilic cytoplasm and deeply stained nuclei (P) and many central vein were obviously congested (CV). C: High magnification of pervious figure of liver of CCL4 group showing microvesicular (Mi) macrovesicular (Ma) fatty changes of hepatocytes, centrilobular necrosis in most cases, ballooning degeneration (arrowhead) broad mononuclear cells infiltration mostly around central veins and in portal areas with mild fibrous tissues (arrow), loss of the usual hepatic architecture, deep acidophilic cytoplasm and deeply stained nuclei (P) and many central vein were obviously congested (CV). D: A photomicrograph of liver of CCL4 and chloroform extract (100 mg/kg) group showing moderate improvement in hepatic structure with microvesicular fatty changes of hepatocytes (Mi), ballooning degeneration (arrowhead), mild inflammatory cells infiltration (arrow) and pyknotic nuclei (P). E: A photomicrograph of liver of CCL4 and chloroform extract (200 mg/kg) group showing microvesicular fatty changes of hepatocytes (Mi), ballooning degeneration (arrowhead), mild inflammatory cells infiltration (arrow), congestion of central vein (CV) and pyknotic nuclei (P). F: A photomicrograph of liver of CCL4 and ethyl acetate extract (100 mg/kg) group showing more or less normal hepatic structure with macrovesicular fatty changes of hepatocytes (Ma) mild inflammatory cells infiltration (arrow)
