Light micrographs of the kidney glomerular and renal tubular sections stained with hematoxylin–eosin (HE × 200). (a) Sham control mice; (b) uremic control mice (Nx); uremic mice treated with C. militaris mycelia cultured in (c) CM, (d) CM + A, (e) HKS, or (f) HKS + A medium. Enlarged glomerular and proteinaceous casts within the tubular lumen were observed in the Nx, CM, CM + A, and HKS groups (b-e) but not in HKS + A medium group f. a-f scale bars were 50 μm.
