Light microscopy (LM) images showing the morphology of the normal sperms and their various defects; (a) normal kidney, (b) normal rats administered with the extract PsPc-3; (c,d) showing the degenerative change in the lining epithelium of some tubules at the cortex (red arrows) and focal inflammatory cells infiltration with fibrosis (yellow arrows) were detected in between the glomeruli and tubules at the cortex after the treatment with CP, also (e) the corticomedullary portion showed focal haemorrhage in between the tubules (blue arrow); (f,g) There was no histopathological alteration as recorded in the group was treated with the PsPc-3 extract at the dose of 100 mg/kg before and after CP (Giemsa stain; scale bare 50 µm).
