Effect of SFN on Ar-induced changes in podocytes by electron microscopy study of control and experimental rats. In the control and SFN groups, the ultrastructure of podocytes was normal (a, d). Ar-treated group showed severe degenerative changes including dilated cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum (CS), mitochondrial swelling (M), and degeneration of the nucleolus (NL) were observed in podocytes of the kidney as compared with controls (b). Pre-administration of SFN was effective in preventing all pathological changes compared with controls and rats treated with SFN alone (c)
