Protective role of Juniperus phoenicea and Cupressus sempervirens against CCl4

Figure 5 Histological appearance of the kidney (HE staining). A: Section of control kidney showing a normal histological appearance glomeruli and tubules (arrows) appear normal (× 100), with higher magnification section (× 200); B: Renal cortex in CCl₄ (24 h) group. Segmental glomerular necrosis (arrows) seen, tubular dilation (arrows) and detachment of tubular epithelial cells also visible (× 100); C: Renal cortex in CCl₄ + Cupressus sempervirens group, glomeruli and tubules (arrows) appear normal in cortex (× 200); D: Renal cortex in CCl₄ + Juniperus phoenicea group, glomeruli and tubules (arrows) appear normal seen in cortex (× 100); E: Renal cortex in CCl₄ group (1.5 mo, self-recovery) group. Vacuolization, atrophy and detachment of tubular epithelial cells (arrows) seen (× 100).
