a-i. Photomicrographs of the kidney sections obtained from rats (a) Control group showed normal cellular structure without signs of damage (b) Cd-only treated rats showed atrophied glomeruli with degenerated tubules. (c,d) Pre-treatment with chloroform and butanol showed slight improvements in the tubules, however, widened urinary spaces were noticed. (e,f) Pre-treatment with Ethyl acetate and Hexane showed signs of necrosis and cellular damage (g) Pre-treatment with Aqueous fraction showed no pathology (h,i) Pre-treatment with Me70 and Me70 only groups markedly attenuated all renal damages caused by cadmium, using Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), 400× magnification.
