Effect of exposure of feed to microwaves in different contains on histological structure of kidney of male mice. A: Control showed well organized Bowman’s capsule (Bc) with narrow peri-glomerular spaces (P) compact glomerulus (Gl), normal proximal (Pt) and distal tubules (Dt) with slight lumen. B: Direct group showed edematous Bowman’s capsule (EBc), increased peri-glomerular space, with swollen glomeruli (Gl), tubular degeneration (Td), and dilation of proximal and distal tubules with increased lumen. C: Glass group showed ruptured Bowman’s capsule (rBc), swollen glomeruli, wide peri-glomerular space. Proximal and distal tubules showed dilation and tubular degeneration. D: Plastic group renal sections showed almost normal peri-glomerular spaces, Bowman’s capsules and proximal tubules. Stain: hematoxylin and Eosin Magnification: 400X.
