Electron micrograph of the astrocytes a Control group showing a round heterochromatic nucleus that is usually regular in shape and surrounded by scanty cytoplasm. b Acrolein-treated group showing swollen N with slight heterochromatin clumping at the nuclear periphery and severely damaged cytoplasm with scattered residual damaged cellular organelles. c Quercetin nanoparticle-treated group showing normal astrocytes. d Ameliorative group showing normal nuclei. Heterochromatin spread uniformly underneath the inner nuclear envelope. e Protective group showing a normal heterochromatin nucleus surrounded by a scant cytoplasm. f Recovery group showing a slightly swollen N. Cytoplasm with scattered residual cellular organelles. (N, nucleus; C, heterochromatin material; black star, clear area and loss of organelles). X 15000
