Histological examination of kidney tissue from the parent rats. Photomicrograph section of rifampicin treated kidney showing cell necrosis in glomeruli (G), malpighian renal corpuscle with shrunken glomeruli (g) and widened bowman's space (W), cytoplasm of the lining tubular cells exhibit vacuolation (V), cellular debris dislodged in tubular lamina (C) (H&E stain) (A), photomicrograph section of rifampicin plus stem cell treated kidney showing apparently normal histological architecture of renal corpuscle with well-formed glomerular tuft (G) surrounded by Bowman's space (B), Renal tubules; proximal tubules (P) and distal convoluted tubules (D), show apparently normal histological architecture (H&E stain) (B). Photomicrograph section of kidney from the control showing normal architecture of malpighian renal corpuscle with well-formed glomerular tuft (G) surrounded by bowman's space (B). Renal tubules; proximal tubules (P) and distal convoluted tubules, (D) show apparently normal histological architecture (H&E stain) (C).
