Paederia Foetida Linn. leaves extract effect on kidney histopathology in normal and STZ induced diabetic rats. (A) Normal control: Normal control group rat histopathology shown normal size of glomerulus and bowman capsule (Green arrow) (B) Diabetic control: Diabetic control group rat histopathology display the inflamed blood vessels (Red arrow), bigger size of bowman capsule, glomerulus and fat deposition (Yellow arrow) (C) PF I (100 mg/kg): PF tested drug histopathology display the inflammation in blood vessels (brown arrow), bigger size bowman capsule and fat deposition (yellow arrow) (D) PF II (250 mg/kg): PF treated drug group rat histopathology display fat deposition (yellow arrow) and inflammatory blood cells (Red arrow). (E) PF III (500 mg/kg): PF treated group display the normal histopathology only increase the size of bowman capsule (green arrow). (F) Glibenclamide (10 mg/kg): Histopathology of glibenclamide treated group rat display the normal kidney but bowman capsule bigger in size (Green arrow). The samples were obtained from the same liver anatomical regions. For each group, 6 rats were examined and 50 pictures were taken. Original magnification, 10×.
