Figure 3

Effect of low-dose alcohol on AS-induced renal histopathological changes. (a) Representative paraffin sections of the renal cortex and medulla stained with H&E (×400); . Black arrows indicate vacuolar degeneration. Yellow arrows indicate neutrophil infiltration. Blue arrows indicate necrotic cells. Green arrows indicate apoptotic cells. (b) Renal cortex injury score. (c) Renal medulla injury score. Data are expressed as (). and versus the CON group. ## versus the AS group. § versus the AS+Alc group. H&E: hematoxylin and eosin; CON: control; AS: acute stress; Alc: alcohol.
