Histological examination of kidney tissue from F1 generation rats. Photomicrograph section of kidney of progeny F1 from rifampicin treated rats 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 kidney of progeny F1 from rifampicin plus stem cell treated rats showing apparently normal histological architecture of renal corpuscle with well-formed glomerular tuft (G) surrounded by Bowman's space (B). Renal tubules; proximal tubules and distal convoluted tubules, show apparently normal histological architecture (H&E stain) (B). Photomicrograph section of kidney of progeny from the control showing normal 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) (H&E stain) (C).
