Histology of rat kidney; (a): Group I = normal control, (b): Group II = atherogenic control (HFD), (c): Group III = atherogenic control + 3 mg/kg of Simvastatin, (d): Group V = atherogenic control + 250 mg/kg ethanolic extract of A. ilicifolius (leaf), (e): Group VI = atherogenic control + 500 mg/kg ethanolic extract of A. ilicifolius (leaf), (f): Group VII = atherogenic control + 250 mg/kg methanolic extract of A. ilicifolius (leaf), (g): Group VIII = atherogenic control + 500 mg/kg methanolic extract of A. ilicifolius (leaf), (h): Group IX = atherogenic control + 200 mg/kg methanolic extract of A. ilicifolius (stem), (i): Group X = atherogenic control + 400 mg/kg methanolic extract of A. ilicifolius (stem), (j): Group XI = atherogenic control + 200 mg/kg ethanolic extract of A. ilicifolius (stem), (k): Group XII = atherogenic control + 400 mg/kg ethanolic extract of A. ilicifolius (stem). Microscopic examination of each group was performed at 400X magnification, scale bar: 40 μm.
