Boldine Prevents Renal Alterations in Diabetic Rats
Figure 2
Boldine prevents the structural alterations in kidneys from diabetic rats. Serial kidney sections (5 μm) were either stained with (a) hematoxylin and eosin or (b) with PAS staining. The top panels correspond to kidney sections from control rats (C), the middle panels are from diabetic rats (D), and the bottom panels are from diabetic rats treated with 50 mg/Kg/day boldine (DB). *: indicate clear cells; arrowheads indicate dilated tubules. Note close spatial correspondence between clear cells and PAS staining. Each picture is representative of at least 5 different animals.
