Microscopic views of cross-sectioned colonic tissues in rats. (a) Normal controls had clear mucus and goblet cells (yellow star), the appearance of normal glands with round nuclei in the basal location in signet cells (orange arrow) away from the lumen (black double arrow); (b) cancer control rats received only AOM had marked nuclear atypia (elongated and stratified nucleus) multi-stratified layers of cell with nucleus abnormalities (orange arrow) in the lumen filled ACF (green star) and numerous leukocyte infiltration (blue arrow); (c) rats treated with 35 mg/kg of 5-FU had an almost same glandular appearance as normal control with round and semi-elongated nucleus (orange arrow) at the basal location with reduced ACF (green star); (d and e) rats received 30 and 60 mg/kg PN, showed fewer multi-layer cells, less nucleus abnormalities (orange arrow) and fewer leukocyte infiltration (blue arrow) compared to cancer controls.
