Fig. 6. Masson’s trichrome-stained liver sections; (A) Control group, show collagen fibers normally distributed (arrows) around the portal tract. (B, C) CCL₄ group, shows a marked increase in collagen fibers (arrows) deposition around the blood vessels in the portal area. (D, E) SeNPs group, shows minimal collagen fibers deposition (long arrows) around the blood vessels in the portal area and between cells (short arrows). (F, G) DFE group, shows decreased collagen fibers deposition (arrows) around the blood vessels in the portal area. (H) Statistical analysis of the area percentage of collagen fibers deposition shows *significant difference against the control group. ^#Represents a significant difference against the CCL₄ group. CCL₄, carbon tetrachloride; SeNPs, selenium-nanoparticles; DFE, dates flesh extract.
