Electron photomicrography of a part of a proximal convoluted tubule. a (control rat), section showing nucleus (n) containing marginally arranged chromatin material (thin arrows), mitochondria (arrowheads) with intact cristae, many long and dense apical microvilli (mv), and lysosomes (thick arrows). Note the intact cytoplasm. b Section in CA group showing thickening areas of the basement membrane (thick arrow), partial loss of apical microvilli (mv), degenerated nucleus (n) with regressive size, and a high dense chromatin (thin arrow), rarefied cytoplasm (asterisk), some degenerated mitochondria with destructed cristae (arrowheads). c Section in CA + FU group showing: nearly a normal appearance of the nucleus (n) and partial long and dense apical microvilli (mv) as well as rarefied of some parts of cytoplasm (asterisk) can be noted with some healthy parts (arrows). (Uranyl acetate, × 3600).
