Figure 1:
The kidney of an ultraviolet exposed group shows thickening wall (TW) of blood vessels, damaged glomerulus (DG), infiltration of lymphocytes (IL) and present fibrocytes (F), H & E 400X.
Figure 2:
The kidney of the carotenoids extract group observed the kidney glomeruli (G), proximal urinary tubules (PCT), and distal urinary tubules (DCT), H and E 400X.
Figure 3:
The kidney of the treated group by bacterial probiotic shows the kidney glomeruli (G), Kupffer cells (KC) and closed tubules (C.T), H and E 400X.
