TS of the cortical tissue of the kidney of a normal control mice shows renal corpuscle and renal tubules, proximal convoluted tubules (short arrow) and distal convoluted tubules (long arrow). Notice the glomerulus (asterisk) and urinary space (arrowhead), b EAC control mice shows inflammatory infiltration in the interstitial spaces (arrow). The renal corpuscles show congestion and hypercellularity (asterisk). The renal tubules exhibit almost normal structure, c 1/5 LD50 of venom treated EAC-bearing mice shows the renal corpuscle and tubules appear near normal structure, d Cisplatin-treated EAC-bearing mice shows the renal corpuscles and tubules that appear near normal structure, e 1/5 LD50 of venom shows degeneration of some renal tubules (arrow) (H&E, scale bar 100 µm, magnification ×400)
