Figure 2 Morphological analysis by scanning electron microscopy of the liver of animals that underwent bile duct ligation surgery.
The control (CO) and CO + melatonin (MLT) groups showed an intact ciliated membrane covering the hepatocytes. This membrane is impaired in the bile duct ligation (BDL) group. In contrast, membrane restructuring was observed in the BDL + MLT group. A: CO; B: CO + MLT; C: BDL; D: BDL + MLT.
