Protective Effects of an Ancient Chinese Kidney-Tonifying Formula against H₂O₂-Induced Oxidative Damage to MES23.5 Cells

Figure 2

Effect of KTF on cellular ultrastructure in H₂O₂-induced MES23.5 cells. Cellular ultrastructure was observed under TEM. Normal morphology of cytoplasm, cell organelles in control group ((a), ×15,000), characteristic ultrastructural morphology of oxidative damage in H₂O₂-treated group ((b), ×15,000), treatment with KTF group (3.125, 6.25, and 12.5 μg/ml, respectively) ((d), (e), (f), ×15,000), or Ginkgo extract (12.5 μg/ml) ((c), ×15,000).
