A A Photomicrograph of lung in the control group showing normal distribution of thin layer of collagen fibers in the interalveolar septa and the wall of the bronchiole (→). (Masson’s trichrome, scale bars = 40 µm). B A Photomicrograph of lung in the CYP group showing excessive increase in collagen deposition in the interalveolar septa, in the walls of the blood vessels and the walls of the bronchioles (→). Large fibrotic areas are seen in the parenchyma (**). (Masson’s trichrome, scale bars = 40 µm). C A photomicrograph of the lung of CYP + BCX group showing marked decrease in collagen deposition (→). (Masson’s trichrome, scale bars = 40 µm) (A alveoli, B Bronchiole, BV blood vessel)
