Control group was given food and water, P1 was given food and inducer solution (mixture from ethylene glycol and ammonium chloride), P2 group was given ethanol extract of pelawan leaves with inducer solution, and P3 group was given ethanol extract of pelawan leaves. Histological slides of white rat liver were made using paraffin method, stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE). Result showed that the liver of white rat changed.
