Protective Effects of Ophiocordyceps lanpingensis on Glycerol-Induced Acute Renal Failure in Mice

Figure 4

Hematoxylin and eosin results in mice’s kidney tissues (magnification ×400). (a) Normal control group. (b) ARF model group. (c) 1.0 g/kg/d OL-treated group. (d) 2.0 g/kg/d OL-treated group. Notes: (a) normal architecture of kidney in the normal healthy group. (b) Many necrotic cortical tubules with casts (arrowheads), tubular dilation, and vacuolation were seen. (c) Severe necrotic tubules with some casts (arrowheads) were present. (d) Occasional necrotic tubules with casts (arrowheads) were seen. OL: Ophiocordyceps lanpingensis; ARF: acute renal failure.
