Photomicrographs of kidney sections from (a) Control rats showing normal histological features. The section indicates a detailed cortical parenchyma and the renal corpuscles appear as dense rounded structures, (b) rats treated with 250 mg/kg b.w DT and CCl4 showing some mild degree of distortion and disruption in microanatomy of the renal cortex, (c) rats treated with 500 mg/kg bw. DT and CCl4 showing some distortion and disruption in microanatomy of the renal cortex, including mild queried edema, although with prominent renal corpuscles, (d) rats treated with 1000 mg/kg bw DT and CCl4 showing some recovery in microanatomy of the renal cortex, it includes queried edema though, (e) rats treated with CCl4 only showing severe distortion and disruption in microanatomy of the renal cortex, including queried edema. The kidney sections were stained with H/E and observed with a 40X objective. DT stands for Dennettia tripetala
