Immunohistological Evaluation of Liver Sections.

aThe degree of fatty change was scored as 0 (66%).bHepatocyte ballooning was scored on a scale of 0�C4 where 0 is none and 4 is many.cGrade and Stage were scored using the Batts and Ludwig criteria.dFAS and caspase staining was scored semi-quantitatively where 0 = none, 1 = focal weak, 2 = diffuse weak; 3 = diffuse weak and focal strong; 4 = diffuse strong. For caspase staining, m is macrophages and h is hepatocytes.eThe lobular apoptotic body count is an average of 5 fields counted at magnification ��100.fThe number of Tunel positive nuclei is an average of 15 fields at magnification ��200.
