Effect of methanol extract of okra pods on kidney histology (thickness of epithelial proximal tubule, diameter of the proximal tubule, percentage of necrotic cells, and diameter ratio of glomerular Bowman's capsule) in lead acetate-treated mice. Values are as expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n = 5). ^∗P < 0.05 shows significant differences in K−, ^∗∗P < 0.05 shows significant differences in KN and K−, confidence interval 95%. KN: normal control, K−: negative control. P1, P2, P3, and P4 were treated with 50, 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg BW methanol extract of okra pods, respectively.
