Liver tissues were placed in plastic cassettes and were immersed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 6 h. The fixed tissues were processed as described previously [19]. The degree of hepatocellular damage was evaluated by measuring the area of necrosis in liver sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin. For this purpose, we used light microscopy (Olympus BX51, Tokyo, Japan). The necrotic zones were manually selected and the percentage of the necrotic area was determined using Cell v3.1 software, Olympus Soft Imaging Solutions (Münster, Germany).
