Effect of HGF on skin fibrosis in TSK/+ mice. Skin fibrosis in dorsal skin from C57BL/6, pa/pa, and TSK/+ mice with or without treatment with HGF. Representative histologic sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin are shown (× 40). An asterisk indicates the subcutaneous loose connective tissue layer beneath the panniculus carnosus (arrow).
