3. Histological
appearance of the skeletal muscle in rat. (a) The tissue sample belonging
to CON group (no Cr supplementation) diaphragm muscle in rat (haematoxylin-eosin
(HE)-stained section, n = nukleous, original magnification X20). (b)
The histological changes appear in the diaphragm muscle tissue sample
of the INCO group. (HE-stained section, original magnification X20,
fibroblast and collagen fibers are seen with increased connective tissue
between muscle cells = b). (c) The myoblasts are seen between hypertrophic
gastrocnemius muscle cells in the tissue sample belonging to CREAT-I
group (Cr supplementation 1 g·kg-1·day-1) (HE-stained section, original
magnification X40, myoblast = m). (d) The tissue sample belonging to
CREAT-II group (Cr supplementation 2 g·kg-1·day-1) diaphragm muscle
in rat (HE-stained section, original magnification X40, the round-shaped
myoblasts are seen between the hypertrophic muscle cells = m).
