Histopathological examination of rat urinary bladder from the control group (a), diseased control (b), standard drug-treated (c), MEOAA (250 and 500 mg/kg)-treated groups (d and e) in the cyclophosphamide-induced cystitis model. (a) shows normal transitional epithelial lining and intact mucosa and (b) shows focally ulcerated mucosal lining. The interstitial tissue and cleaves of muscle coats contained scattered mixed inflammatory cells. There was focal urinary bladder necrosis, (c) normal contracted transitional epithelium of urinary bladder, and (d) shows intact looking transitional epithelial lining. Congestion in the submucosa was seen, (e) intact uniform-looking transitional epithelial lining. The muscle coats were arranged in a normal pattern. No evidence of any disease, granuloma, or malignancy was seen.
