After twenty weeks of treatment, normal group which received normal saline shows a normal architecture and histology of the kidney; AOM-only group and dietary administration of 10% (w/w) brewers’ rice in the AOM-treated rats show mild inflammation (black arrow); dietary administration of 20% and 40% (w/w) brewers’ rice in the AOM-treated rats shows normal kidney tissue appearance.
