Effect of Melastoma malabathricum Linn. (MM) on liver fat accumulation in different groups of rats: (A) Normal control: (B) Diabetic control: Diabetic control histopathology of rat liver had shown the micro fat droplet deposition on round shape (yellow arrow) (C) MM I (100 mg/kg): Tested drug histopathology shown small size of fat droplet (yellow arrow) as compared to the diabetic control. (D) MM II (250 mg/kg): Tested drug histopathology shown few micro fat droplets (yellow arrow). (E) MM III (500 mg/kg): Increased tested drug treated rat histopathology similar to the glibenclamide treated group. (F) Glibenclamide (10 mg/kg): Standard drug treated group shown histopathology similar to the normal control groups. The samples were obtained from the same liver anatomical regions. For each group, 6 rats were examined and 50 pictures were taken. The above picture for each group was chosen randomly from the 80 pictures in this group. Original magnification, 40 ×.
