I – the control group showing normally preserved cardiac muscle architecture; II – the cadmium-treated group showing subendocardial necrosis with no muscle striations, pyknotic nuclei and vascular congestion; III – the cadmium and 2 mg/kg BIS-treated group showing moderate improvement with congestion and no muscle striations; IV – the cadmium and 8 mg/kg BIS-treated group showing marked improvement with mild congestion
