Semi thin sections of the brain with toluidine blue stain. a Control normal appearance of brain tissues with normal white matter (W) and neurons. b LC-treated rats showed normal appearance of brain tissues with normal neurons (N) and glial fibers (g). c ASP-LD treated-animals, necrotic zone (NZ), and enlarged swollen glial fibers (EG) appeared. d ASP-HD group showed that the brain tissues had necrotic zone (NZ) and highly congested blood vessel (CB) with vacuoles (V) and enlarged blood capillary (EC). e ASP-LD + LC group showed the brain tissues with less necrotic zone (LN) and normal glial fibers (G) with perinuclear Golgi complex (GL). f ASP-HD + LC: Brain tissues with normal appearance of brain tissues and normal glial fibers (G) and less necrotic area (LN) with some fatty change
