Fig. 2From: Protective effect of Antigonon leptopus (Hook et. Arn) in cadmium induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in ratsHistopathological changes in renal tissue of rats. Done by Digital Motic Microscope Magnification 100X. a A control kidney with normal architecture. b Rats treated with cadmium alone, with congested shrunk and completely degenerated glomeruli, debris in the lumen of some renal tubules and degeneration of renal tubules. c And e Rats treated with Standard and ALME 200 mg/kg, along with cadmium exhibited normal architecture. d Rats treated with ALME 100 mg/kg and cadmium showed mild degeneration of glomerulus. f Rats treated with ALME 400 mg/kg and cadmium maintained normal renal corpuscle and renal tubule more or less like normal structureBack to article page
