Quantitative Histopathology of Fibrosis in an Animal Model of NASH
The hepatic fibrosis has been the most challenging aspect in the animal models for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Although it could induced by nutritional (high-fat died with high cholesterol, methionine and choline deficient diet, etc), chemical (carbon tetrachloride, thioacetamide, α-naphthylisothiocyanate etc.), and surgical (bile duct ligation) means, the clinical relevance of the resulting fibrosis remains an …Read More >
