Cx43 between ICC and ICC using transmission electron microscopy. (a) Control group shows gap junction (↑) between ICC and ICC (ruler: 200 nm); (b) MODS group shows no gap junction between ICC and IC and ICC membrane was not clear. Moreover, chromatin condensation and aggregation could be seen (ruler: 500 nm); (c) DCQD group shows gap junction (↑) with intact structure between ICC and ICC. ICC nucleolus and cell membrane were clear. NO chromatin condensation and aggregation (ruler: 500 nm).
