Representative photomicrographs of cardiac immunostaining for TNF-α in experimental groups. (a) TNF-α immunoreactivity was weak in the control group (b) Sesame oil group. (c) TNF-α immunoreactivity intensity of myocardial fibers in cisplatin group was higher than the control group (d) TNF-α immunoreactivity of only β-carotene treated group (e) cisplatin+β-carotene group was lower when the compared to cisplatin group (f) Only curcumin-treated group (g) cisplatin+ curcumin group showed TNF-α immunoreactivity decreased in the cardiac tissues compared to cisplatin group.
