Hemin Attenuates Cisplatin-Induced Acute Renal Injury in Male Rats

Figure 1

Photomicrographs of rat kidney. (a) Control group: normal histological structure. ((b)-(c)) CP group: severe glomerular congestion (*, in (b)), glomerular atrophy (arrow, in (c)) and dilatation of Bowman’s space (bs, in (c)), and degeneration of renal tubular cells (dg, in (b) and (c)). (d) CP plus hemin group: mild tubular degeneration (arrow), a normal-looking glomerulus (g) is also discernible. (e) Hemin group: renal histology is comparable to control.
