Figure 6From: Systemic effects induced by intralesional injection of ω-conotoxin MVIIC after spinal cord injury in ratsLight microscopy of renal longitudinal sections of rats stained with hematoxylin-eosin. (A) Kidney showing mild degenerative changes in tubules (arrow) and glomeruli (asterisk) in the control group (PLA) (210×) when compared to (B) the group that received 120 pmol of MVIIC (G120), revealing severe degeneration in the Bowman’s space, glomerular (asterisk) and tubular epithelial cells with deposition of eosinophilic material inside renal tubules (arrow) (207×).Back to article page
