Fig. 6From: Dimethylsulfoxide excerbates cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cellsA photomicrograph of a section of rat kidney treated with cisplatin (7.5 mg/kg, i.p.) after 2 h of pretreatment with 50 % DMSO (2 ml/kg, i.p.) showing most of the proximal convoluted tubules (thick black arrow) and distal convoluted tubules (white arrow) revealing normal tubular epithelium. Few reveal attenuated and desquamated epithelium (white circle). Others contain intra-tubular pink homogenous casts (thin black arrows) (H&E ×400)Back to article page
