Figure 1. DHA-enriched diets prevent CCl4-induced hepatocellular necrosis. A) Representative photomicrographs of liver sections stained with hematoxylin-eosin from 5 wk CCl4-treated mice receiving a control diet (upper panels), a diet supplemented with DHA (middle panels), and a diet supplemented with a mixture of DHA and EPA (lower panels). These data are representative of 24 mice. B) The hepatocellular damage observed in hematoxylin-eosin stained liver sections was scored by a registered pathologist unaware of the treatments. Results are expressed as mean ± SE and P values are calculated with respect to the control CT group.
