Table 1. Effect of MO treatments on severity of histopathologic lesions in DOX-treated rats.
Groups | Disorganization | Focal necrosis | Degeneration | Inflammation |
---|---|---|---|---|
Control | 0.00 ± 0.00 | 0.00 ± 0.00 | 0.00 ± 0.00 | 0.00 ± 0.00 |
DOX | 3.00 ± 0.00a | 1.83 ± 0.17a | 2.17 ± 0.31a | 2.00 ± 0.26a |
DOX+MO(LD) | 1.33 ± 0.21a | 0.67 ± 0.21a | 0.67 ± 0.21a | 1.00 ± 0.36a |
DOX+MO(MD) | 1.00 ± 0.00a | 0.33 ± 0.21a | 0.33 ± 0.21a | 0.67 ± 0.21a |
DOX+MO(HD) | 0.50 ± 0.22a | 0.17 ± 0.17a | 0.00 ± 0.00a | 0.50 ± 0.22a |
Severity of injury is expressed as mean ± SEM of three scores for seven animals in each group. a P<0.001 vs. DOX group. Grade 1 = 1: 10% mild. Grade 2 = 10–30% moderate. Grade 3 > 30% severe,
a P<0.001 vs. control.
