(a) Effect of RVM on kidney histopathology in female rats during subchronic toxicity study: (k0): control group; (k1): 250 mg/kg; (k2): 500 mg/kg; and (k3): 1000 mg/kg. Indicators: (G): glomerulus; (P): proximal tubule; (D): distal tubule. (b) Effect of RVM on kidney histopathology in male rats during subchronic toxicity study: (k0): control group; (k1): 250 mg/kg; (k2): 500 mg/kg; and (k3): 1000 mg/kg. Indicators: (G): glomerulus; (P): proximal tubule. The kidney photomicrographs presented in the document represent the general appearance observed in at least three of four animals in each group.
