3.3. MWE administration-induced reversion of CCl4-induced liver
enlargement, lipid deposition, and liver fibrosis
The liver regenerates in response to hepatic damages such as
fibrosis, cirrhosis, and atrophy. This process results in increased liver weight. The effects of CCl4 on liver weight were then investigated in the current study. CCl4 treatment caused a significant
increase in the liver weight. By comparison, the liver weights of
the MWE- or silymarin-supplemented groups were lower (Fig. 6)
