<table>Optical microscopy photos of kidney histology from control and treated (vitamin D<sub>3</sub> 300,000 IU/kg, b.w., i.m.) animals. These pictures are representatives of samples obtained from four animals from each experimental group. Renal histological studies revealed tubular alteration with vacuoles in the cytoplasm (arrows), glomeruli of reduced size (asterisks) in kidneys from rats with vascular calcium overload. Bars: 40 <i>μ</i>m.</table>
