Histopathological findings in heart (a) showing normal histopathological structure of the myocardial bundles. (b) Focal degenerative changes with Zenkers necrosis (infarction) (arrows) (score 3) after exposure to gamma rays. (c) Irradiated rats were received of BV 0.05 mg/kg showed there was no histopathological alteration (score 0) as recorded in heart. (d) Irradiated rats were received of propolis 300 mg/kg showed there was no histopathological alteration (score 0) as recorded in heart. (e) Effect of combination treatment of propolis + BV 300 & 0.05 mg/kg respectively showed normal histological structure (score 0) in heart. (f,g) Effect of propolis 300 mg/kg and BV 0.05 separately respectively and (h) combined on the normal rats for two weeks without any alterations in heart. H&E stain used.
