FIGURE 5.

The representative photomicrographs of kidney sections stained with hematoxylin–eosin stain: (A,B) Sections taken from kidneys of the control group showing normal glomeruli (g) and tubules (t) at the cortex portion and normal histological structure of the tubules (t) at the corticomedullary portion as well. (C,D) Sections taken from kidneys of the cisplatin group showing necrosis of epithelial lining renal tubules and presence of renal cast in the lumen of renal tubules as well as atrophy of glomerular tuft and distension of Bowman’s space (arrow). (E,F) Sections were taken from kidney specimens of rats treated with dibenzazepine and cisplatin showing no degeneration or necrosis where only mild congestion in blood vessels (v) and glomerular tufts (g) were observed. (G,H) Sections taken from kidney specimens of rats treated with dibenzazepine only showing normal histological structure of the glomeruli (g) and tubules (t) at the cortex.
