Protective effect of C. nudiflora on the ultrastructure of hepatocytes damaged by CCl4. a (×690) Control; hepatocytes show normal ultrastructure. b (×890) CCl4 (1 ml/kg b.wt.); glycogen loss, large lipid droplets (LD), degenerated nucleus, and disrupted endoplasmic reticulum are seen. c (×890) C. nudiflora (150 mg/kg b.wt. + CCl4); mitochondria are visible, and lipid droplets are present. d (×890) C. nudiflora (300 mg/kg b.wt. + CCl4); disrupted nuclear membrane and dilations in the endoplasmic reticulum are recovered, and lipid droplets are present. e (×89×) C. nudiflora (450 mg/kg b.wt. + CCl4); disrupted nuclear membrane and dilations in the endoplasmic reticulum are recovered, and lipid droplets are still present. The number of mitochondria and glycogen granules is increased. f (×550) C. nudiflora (450 mg/kg b.wt.) normal hepatocytes
