Figure 9

Effect of Euryale ferox salisb seeds extract (EFx) on histological profile of pancreas in normal, STZ-induced diabetic untreated and STZ-induced diabetic treated wistar rats (original magnification ×10, DXIT 1200, Nikon, Japan). (1) NPAN: heamatoxylin and eosin (H/E) stained sections of pancreas of normal control rat portraying normal islet of langerhans shown by yellow arrows. (2) PSTZ: pancreatic section of streptozotocin induced diabetic rat showing no/destroyed islet of langerhans and beta cells depicted by red arrows. (3) PEFx-100: pancreatic section of STZ-induced diabetic rats treated with EFx at 100 mg/kg body weight showing small number of islet of langerhans (green arrows). (4) PEFx-200: section of pancreas of STZ-induced diabetic rats treated with EFx at 200 mg/kg body weight portraying increased number of islet of langerhans with small proportions of beta cells (green arrows). (5) PEFx-300: pancreas of diabetic rats treated with 300 mg/kg body weight. EFx depicting nearly normal islet of langerhans (green arrows). (6) PEFx-400: sections of pancreas of diabetic treated rats with 400 mg/kg body weight. EFx showing normal islet of langerhans with numerous beta cells (green arrows). (7) PGLIM: pancreatic section of diabetic rats treated with Glibenclamide showing normal pancreatic islet of langerhans with enhancement in the number of beta cells (dark yellow arrow).
