Hujin Pill′s antisteatosis of rat liver: evaluation of histopathology and ultrastructure

Table 1 The comparison of liver weight of rats after experiment (mean ± SD)

Group	Number of rats	Liver weight (g)
A	10	6.34 ± 0.77b
B	8	10.01 ± 1.03
C	9	8.12 ± 0.90a
D	10	7.93 ± 0.91a
E	10	7.46 ± 1.28b

Compared with group B,

^aP < 0.01,

^bP < 0.001.

Table 2 The results of liver steatosis in rats of each group

Group	The degree of liver steatosis					Number of liver steatosis	Rate of liver steatosis
	-	+	++	+++	++++
A	9	1	0	0	0	1	10
B	0	1	1	4	4	10	100
C	4	4	1	0	1	6	60
D	5	2	1	2	0	5	50
D	4	2	0	3	1	6	60

The standard of assessing the degree of hepatocytes steatosis. -, no steatosis; +, the steatosis in hepatic lobules < 1/3; + +, the steatosis in hepatic lobules was between 1/3-2/3; +++, the steatosis in hepatic lobules was between 1/2-2/3; ++++, the steatosis in hepatic lobules > 2/3.
