Figure 2
Histopathological changes in chicks treated with Rhinella jimi venom. (a) Extensive foci of necrotic cardiac fibers (H&E, Bar = 50 μm). (b) Liver section showing hepatocyte necrosis (H&E, Bar = 200 μm). (c) Focal areas of hemorrhage in the hepatic parenchyma (H&E, Bar = 50 μm). (d) Lungs section showing moderate acute diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (H&E, Bar = 200 μm). (e) Vacuolar degeneration of the renal tubular epithelium (arrow) and multifocal areas of hemorrhage in the interstitium of the renal cortex (H&E, Bar = 50 μm). (f) Brain section showing extensive subdural hemorrhage (H&E, Bar = 200 μm).
