Photomicrographs in the liver sections stained by H&E, bars = 50 μm (a) In control group showing a central vein (cv) from which mono- (↑) and binucleated (↑↑) hepatocytes are radiating in cords. The hepatocytes are with rounded vesicular nuclei and granular cytoplasm. Blood sinusoids are between the hepatic cords (Δ). (b) In control group showing a portal area (red circle). Mono- (↑) and binucleated (↑↑) hepatocytes are with rounded vesicular nuclei and granular cytoplasm. (c) In UA group showing massive fibrotic area (asterisk) enclosing connective tissue cells (↑↑). Hepatocytes are with pale vacuolated cytoplasm and irregular nuclei (Δ). Features of Karyolysis observed in some hepatocytes (▲). Some oval cells with dense flat nuclei noticed between hepatocytes (↑). (d) In UA group showing extravasated blood cells in between hepatocytes (↑). Some hepatocytes are with vacuolated cytoplasm and dense nuclei (Δ). (e) In UA group showing massive cellular infiltration (↑) around the portal area
