Figure 7
Histopathological changes in renal tissue of the diabetic mice treated with CrataBL. (a) Diabetic treated with CrataBL (10 mg/kg)—renal glomeruli (G) with irregular subcapsular spaces and some distinctly collapsed (left) and collecting tubules with slight swelling of the tubular epithelium (stars) (right); (b) diabetic treated with CrataBL (20 mg/kg)—preserved renal glomeruli (G) (left) and presence in the medullary region of collecting tubules (stars) with evident swelling of the tubular epithelium and hyaline casts (hc) (right). Haematoxylin-eosin: 400x.
