Effects of pharmacological serum from normal and liver fibrotic rats on HSCs

Figure 3 Immunocytochemistry stain of α-SMA in HSCs-positive cells: brown in plasm. When HSCs were inhibited, the number of HSCs decreased, while the expression of α-SMA increased, with cell bodies expanded and synapses fewer and smaller (200×). A: HSCs in normal serum of Salvia miltiorrhiza; B: HSCs in normal serum of Yigankang; C: HSCs in normal serum of colchicines; D: HSCs in normal serum of rats; E: HSCs in pathological serum of Salvia miltiorrhiza; F: HSCs in pathological serum of Yigankang; G: HSCs in pathological serum of colchicines; H: HSCs in pathological serum of fibrotic rats.
