Representative H&E staining in area postrema along with ileum of rats and minks (100 × magnification). The figures show the H&E staining in area postrema along with ileum of rats and minks (rats: n = 5, minks: n = 6). Bar indicates 100 µm. C normal control group, CG simple gingerol control group, V cisplatin control group, M cisplatin + metoclopramide group, GL cisplatin + low-dose gingerol group, GM cisplatin + middle-dose gingerol group, GH cisplatin + high-dose gingerol group. The red arrow shows the nerve cell, black arrow shows the epithelial cell, and blue arrow shows the inflammatory cell
