METHODS: Kavain solution (10 μg/mL or 43.5 μmol/L) was perfused for 2 h in isolated rat livers. After standard fi xation and tissue preparation,the samples were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM),transmission electron microscopy (TEM),and light microscopy (LM). RESULTS: LM,SEM,and TEM examinations indicated kavain-treated rat livers (n = 4) displayed severe vascular and endothelial damage compared to control livers (n = 4). CONCLUSION: The data so far support the hypothesis that kavain induces adverse effects on liver; additional investigations with other kavalactones and their effects on liver are urgently needed.展开更多
