Resin from Virola oleifera ameliorates tubulointerstitial lesions in radiocontrast-induced nephropathy in mice. Top panel: Representative micrographs showing kidney histology in different groups of mice 24 h after induction of CIN. The kidney sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) reagents. A-F: the cortex-medulla section (100x); G-L: the cortical region (400x) and M-R: the medulla region (400 x) showing increased epithelial cell shedding, tubular dilation and tubulointerstitial lesions. Bottom panel: The tubulointerstitial lesion (TILI) indices of the different groups: Control (n = 4), CIN (n = 4), NAC (n = 5), V10 (n = 7), V100 (n = 8), V300 (n = 4). The values are presented as the mean ± SEM. *p <0.05 vs. Control group.
