Effect of Melastoma malabathricum Linn. (MM) on kidney in different groups of rat: (A) Normal control: Normal control histopathology shown average size of glomerulus (green arrow) (B) Diabetic control: Diabetic control histopathology shown inflammatory cell in blood vessels (red arrow) and increase the deposition of fats (yellow arrow) (C) MM I (100 mg/kg): Tested drug histopathology shown inflammation in blood vessels (red arrow) and fat deposition (yellow arrow) (D) MM II (250 mg/kg): Tested drug histopathology shown fat deposition (yellow arrow) and increase size of glomerulus (violet arrow) (E) MM III (500 mg/kg): Tested drug histopathology shown normal glomerulus but slightly bigger in size (F) Glibenclamide (10 mg/kg): Glibenclamide treated animal histopathology shown the normal kidney. 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 ×.
