The liver of negative control group (G1) shown. a Image shows the macroscopic appearances of liver with regular smooth surface. b Photomicrograph shows normal appearance of hepatic parenchyma: notice the thin capsule (black thick arrow). The boundaries of liver lobules are ill-defined but can be identified by presence of central veins (thin black arrows) and portal areas (white arrow) (HX&E ×100). c A photomicrograph shows the thin-walled central vein (V) and normal hepatocytes (H) with rounded vesicular nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm with basophilic granules. Note: thin-walled blood sinusoids (arrow) between the hepatocyte cell cords and lined with endothelial cells and von Kupffer cells (×400 HX&E). d A photomicrograph shows that the portal area contained branch of hepatic artery (A), branch of portal vein (V), and bile duct (D) (×400 HX&E)
