Figure 9

Immunohistochemistry findings of cytoplasmic Bax immunoreactivity in the different experimental groups (X40). (a) Control group showing a negative cytoplasmic Bax reaction in glomerular and tubular cells, (b) BPA-treated rats showing a strong positive cytoplasmic Bax reaction in leukocytic infiltration, glomerular and tubular cells. (c) BPA + G50-treated rats showed a decrease in the cytoplasmic Bax reaction in glomerular and tubular cells, and (d) BPA + G200-treated rats showed a negative cytoplasmic Bax reaction in both glomerular and tubular cells and appeared more or less similar to the control group. (e, f) Morphometric analysis of mean counts of positive Bax protein reaction of kidney sections in control and different treated groups of rats: (e) glomerular cells and (f) tubular cells.
