Histological and hematological evaluation after administration of YMRE. (a) H&E staining. Photomicrograph (200x) of liver and kidney sections after administration of YMRE (100 mg/kg/day, 5 weeks) followed by exposure to noise (YMRE + noise) or noise only without administration of YMRE (noise), compared to control (Cont). Mice were sacrificed 5 days after noise stimulation and blood, liver, and kidney were collected for analysis. Scale bar: 100 μm. (b) Serum levels of ALT (alanine transaminase), AST (aspartate transaminase), CRE (creatinine), TG (triglyceride), and UN (blood urea nitrogen) were determined. The results are represented as mean ± SD, .
