Photomicrographs of histological changes of rat pancreata (A) Normal control: Normal histological structure of rat pancreata showed averaged sized islet (red arrow) and normal sized β cells (green arrow) (B) Diabetic control: Diabetic control rat showing rat pancreata small sized (red arrow) without enlargement of β cells (yellow arrow) and showing the changes of fatty acid (blue arrow) (C) MM I (100 mg/kg): tested drug rat showing rat pancreata small sized (red arrow) without enlargement of β cells (yellow arrow) and showing the less changes of fatty acid (blue arrow) (D) MM II (250 mg/kg): tested drug rat showing rat showing rat pancreata small sized (red arrow) without enlargement of β cells (yellow arrow) (E) MM III (500 mg/kg): tested drug rat showing rat enlargement of β cells (yellow arrow) (F) Glibenclamide (10 mg/kg): glibenclamide treated rat histological structure of rat pancreata showed averaged sized islet (red arrow) and normal sized β cells (green arrow). 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 ×.
