Assessment of hepatic iron deposition in rats with Clonorchis sinensis infection. A Histological staining of hepatic iron deposition of control (a × 100), (a1-a3 × 400), and infected rats for 16 weeks (b × 100), (b1-b3 × 400). Arrows showed iron. Scale bar: 50 μm. B Total iron score (TIS) of infected groups were significantly higher than those of control groups, using Perl’s Prussian blue staining, at 8, 12 and 16 weeks. *p < 0.05 C. Hepatic iron concentration (HIC) was significantly higher at 8, 12 and 16 weeks after C. sinensis infection compared to the control groups. *p < 0.05
