Fig. 6From: Melatonin alleviates brain and peripheral tissue edema in a neonatal rat model of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage: the involvement of edema related proteinsGlomerular filtration barriers assessed via a transmission electron microscope. HIBD could result in a remarkable damage in the membrane and foot processes at 24h after injury, including vague membranes and randomly arranged and further fused foot process (e-h) compared with sham group (a-d). Melatonin treatment could reduce the severity of pathology after injury (i-l). Red solid arrows represent the foot process, red hollow arrows represent capillary lumens, and â–² represents filtration barrier epithelial cellsBack to article page
