Photomicrographs of H&E-, PAS-, and TNFR2-stained sections of developing liver at E18. The control liver showed normal structure of hepatic cord, positive carbohydrates (red arrow, b), and TNFR2 expression was localized in blood vessel and in some hepatocytes (black arrow, c). GA3-treated group exhibited loosely arranged hepatic cords with pale-staining and vacuolation (black arrow, d), decrease the PAS reaction (red arrow, e), and decrease TNFR2 expression (black arrow, f). Olive oil-treated embryo did not exhibit any alteration in H&E and PAS (g, arrow h) but showed an increase of TNFR2 expression (black arrow, i). GA3-olive oil-treated embryo showed improvement in the GA3 alterations (j, arrow k, arrow l). BV, blood vessel; HC, hepatic cords. Scale bar (a–l) = 10 μm
