Group I (a,b): Splenic tissue in a control rat showing normal architecture with normal red pulp (blue arrow) and white pulp with central arteriole (red arrow). Group II (c,d): Splenic tissue in a control rat treated by FUC showing normal architecture with normal red pulp (blue arrow) and white pulp with central arteriole (red arrow). Group III (e,f): Splenic tissue in a splenic dysfunction rat showing disturbed architecture in the form of irregular white pulp and congested red pulp. Its higher magnification showing red pulp with extramedullary hematopoiesis with many megakaryocytes (red arrows) and apoptotic bodies (blue arrow). Group IV (g,h): Splenic tissue in a splenic dysfunction treated by FUC rat showing preserved architecture with clearly defined red pulp (blue arrow) and white pulp with central arteriole (red arrow). The left panel is with low magnification: ×200, scale bar 100 μm. and the right panel is with high magnification: ×400, scale bar 50 μm.
