Figure 10

Effect of Euryale ferox salisb seeds extract (EFx on histological profile of kidney in normal, STZ-induced diabetic untreated and STZ-induced diabetic treated wistar rats (original magnification ×40, DXIT 1200, Nikon, Japan). (1) NKID: heamatoxylin and eosin (H/E) stained sections of kidney of normal control rats showing normal glomeruli with normal baseline and tubules (yellow arrow). (2) KSTZ: section of kidney of STZ-induced diabetic rats depicting destroyed glomeruli with fat deposition on baseline along with infiltration of lymphocytes (red arrows). (3) KEFx100: kidney section of diabetic rats treated with EFx at dose of 100 mg/kg body weight portraying improved vasculature and glomeruli (green arrows). (4) KEFx200: section of kidney of diabetic rats treated with 200 mg/kg body weight of EFx showing normal tubules along with virtually improved structure of glomeruli (green arrows). (5) KEFx300: kidney section of diabetic treated rats with 300 mg/kg body weight of EFx depicting nearly normal glomeruli (green arrows). (6) KEFx400: section of kidney of diabetic rat received 400 mg/kg body weight of EFx showing normal glomeruli with no infiltration of lymphocytes (green arrows). (7) KGLIM: section of kidney of the rat supplemented with Glibenclamide showing normal glomeruli with improved structure of tubules (dark yellow arrows).
