Figure 2: showing Van Geison stained sections of ventricular myocardium. (2A): few red stained collagen fibers (arrows) around blood capillaries (bc) of control subgroup. (2B): showing some collagen fibers inbetween cardiomyocyte (m) of 30 days dioxins treated group. (2C, D): showing extensive red stained collagen fibers extravasated RBCs (r) and inflammatory cellular nuclei (arrow heads) in 60 days dioxins treated group. (2E): the wall of myocardial artery in sections of 60 days dioxins treated group appears irregular in thickness. Boxed area is magnified in (2F) showing infiltration of the wall with collagen fibers (arrows) and inflammatory cells (arrow heads). (2G): few collagen fibers are seen in dioxins+vitamins supplemented group. (Scale bar=50 μm, boxed area×3 times).
