(A) Photomicrographs showing minimizing of the myotoxic side effects of SV by using microsponges formulas in rats. (a) Control group showing the normal histological structure of the skeletal muscle in rat. The skeletal muscle was formed of several parallel elongated cylindrical muscle fibers (MF) with multiple flattened peripherally located nuclei (arrowhead) beneath the sarcolemma and acidophilic sarcoplasm. (b) Free SV group showing the myotoxic side effects of SV as; degenerated muscles fibers with deeply stained acidophilic sarcoplasm, pyknotic nucleus (arrowhead), hemorrhage (H) and leucocytic infiltration (LI). (c) FSV-6 group showing slight minimizing of the myotoxic side effects of SV by using microsponges formulation FSV-6. Note the deeply stained skeletal muscle fibers (MF) with multiple flattened peripherally located nuclei (arrowhead) beneath the sarcolemma. (d) FSV-1 group showing minimizing of the myotoxic side effects of SV by using microsponges formulation FSV-1.The skeletal muscle was formed of several parallel elongated cylindrical muscle fibers (MF) with acidophilic sarcoplasm and multiple flattened peripherally located nuclei (arrowhead) beneath the sarcolemma .Hx&E, scale bar = 50 μm. (B) Photomicrographs showing minimizing of the myotoxic side effects of SV by using microsponges formulas in rats. (a) Control group showing the normal skeletal muscle fibers (MF) with clear transvers striations (arrowhead). (b) Free SV group showing the myotoxic side effects of SV as; degenerated skeletal muscle fibers (DMF) with absence or ill clear transvers striations (arrowhead). (c) FSV-6 group showing skeletal muscle fibers (MF) with ill clear transvers striations (arrowhead). (d) FSV-1 group showing minimizing of the myotoxic side effects of SV. Note the skeletal muscle fibers (MF) with clear transvers striations (arrowhead). Silver impregnation technique, scale bar = 50 μm. (C) Negative images of the photomicrographs shown in (B).
