Representative photomicrographs of H&E-stained liver sections of rats (scale bar = 50 µm). A Normal control group showing the normal histoarchitecture of hepatic tissue. B Au-C. equisetifolia nano-extract-treated group showing no histopathological alterations. C and D Toxic (CPF-intoxicated) group showing hepatocellular vacuolar degeneration (black arrow), focal hepatocellular necrosis associated with infiltration of inflammatory cells (black circle), proliferation of Kupffer cells (blue arrow), and apoptosis of sporadic hepatocytes (red arrow). E Au-C. equisetifolia nano-extract pre-treated group showing proliferation of Kupffer cells (blue arrow). F Au-C. equisetifolia nano-extract post-treated group showing edema in the portal triad (asterisk)
