Photomicrographs of the liver sections of catfish. Hepatic tissues of (A) normal control (G1), representing normal hepatocytes. (B) Cd-treated group (G2) showing degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes (arrows) with inflammatory cell infiltrations (arrowheads), (C) Cd -treated, hepatocyte necrosis (arrows) with degenerated hepatocytes of pyknotic nuclei (arrowheads). (D) Bio-CHNPs treated group (G3) showing normal structure of liver tissues. (E) Cd + Bio-CHNPs treated group (G4) showing marked improvement in liver tissues represented by a mild degeneration of hepatocytes (arrowheads) with mild inflammatory cell infiltrations (arrows). (F, G) Cd + Bio-CHNPs treated group (G4) showing marked improvement of hepatocyte regeneration with few cells suffering hydropic degeneration (arrowheads). H&E; scale bar = 50 µm
