Figure Legend

In the original publication [1] there was a mistake in Figure 2 as published. The kidney image for control group is wrong and corresponded to the PRF group. The corrected Figure 2 showing the correct kidney image for control group appears below. The authors state that the description of the results in the text and the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

Figure 2

Representative photomicrographs of the liver, kidney, spleen, and heart of animals in the control groups (0.15 M NaCl), M. oleifera leaf extract (LE) (2000 mg/kg), and protein-rich fraction (PRF) (2000 mg/kg). Liver: Centrilobular veins (v) of different calibers, polygonal hepatocytes, and strands of regular hepatocytes can be observed in the images. Animals treated with LE presented with a slight leukocyte infiltrate in the presence of vacuolation in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes. Kidneys: well-defined structural components can be observed with a fibrous outer capsule, homogeneous glomeruli (Gr), and with the presence of the Bowman space in all treated animals. Spleen: the preservation of structures can be observed without changes in all treated animals. Heart: the myocardium (M) with sarcoplasm and integral fibers can be observed. Approximation: 400×.
