Figure 6
Histopathological view of the myocardial tissue samples from each group. Muscle fibers in normal appearance are seen in sham (A) and Taurine (B) groups (HEx400). Muscle fibers are separated in ischemia group due to interstitial edema and muscle fibers are in more acidophilic appearance. PMN leukocyte infiltration between the muscle fibers is seen (arrow) (C) (HEx400). Distribution of muscle fibers in treatment group seems better preserved when compared to ischemia group. Inflammatory cell infiltration is observed in the arrowed area. (D) (HEx400).
