Hematoxylin and eosin stain (H&E) and Massion’s trichrome stain (MT) of liver slides. H&E stain show the CCl4 induce damaged group rat livers caused the lipid accumulation around the capillary and indicated by black arrows. SHSST and silymarin treatments provided a slight reduction in lipid accumulation. But SHSSTc treatment protected the liver and prevented the cell death. MT stain shows a serious liver fibrosis in CCl4-damaged rat liver group and are indicated by white arrows. After the silymarin, SHSST and SHSSTc treatments all can provide a great anti-fibrosis effect in CCl4 induced damaged rat livers. (The nuclei of the cells are stained with blue color, and others are stained by pink color by H&E staining assay. The fibrosis cells are indicated by blue color and normal cells are indicated by pink color in MT staining assay)
