Figure 3
Protective effect of DEX on kidney injury induced by acute stress. Histopathological examination of the kidney (): (a) C group, (b) AS group, and (c) D + AS group. Black arrow indicates tubular necrosis; blue arrow indicates vacuolar degeneration; green arrow indicates hemorrhage; and yellow arrow indicates neutrophil infiltration. (d) Semiquantitative histopathological score of renal tissue injury. All histopathological sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for a magnification of 400. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. versus C group. versus AS group.
