Photomicrographs of transverse sections in 20th-day fetal liver (stained with hematoxylin and eosin). a Control group; normal hepatocytes (H) arranged around the central vein (CV) and alternating with blood sinusoids (Si), and megakaryocytes (Mg). b Ginger group. c–g Labetalol group; congested central vein (CV), leukocytic infiltration (Li), dilated portal vein (PV) numerous leukocytes (LI), degenerative hepatocytes with vacuolated cytoplasm (arrowhead) and bile ductulus (BD), severe hemorrhage (h) between the parenchyma, dilated and elongated central vein (CV), numerous megakaryocytes (Mg), proliferated bile ductulus (BD) around the portal vein (PV) and vacuolated hepatocytes (V). d Labetalol + ginger group; somewhat normal hepatocytes (H), central vein (CV), sinusoids (Si) and few megakaryocytes (Mg). Scale bare = 15 µm
