Green tea polyphenols alleviate di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate-induced liver injury in mice

Figure 3 Hematoxylin and eosin, oil red O, and periodic acid-Schaff staining of liver sections and semiquantitative analysis of liver pathologies in mice from different groups. A: Hematoxylin and eosin-stained, oil red O-stained, and periodic acid-Schaff (PAS)-stained liver sections of different groups; B and C: Comparative analysis of average optical density of oil red O staining (B) and PAS staining (C) intensities between different groups. ^aP < 0.05 and ^bP < 0.01 (compared to the Control group); ^dP < 0.01 (compared to Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate group); ^eP < 0.05 and ^fP < 0.01 (compared to Oil group). DEHP: Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate; HE: Hematoxylin and eosin; PAS: Periodic acid-Schaff.
