P aederia Foetida Linn. leaves extract effect on kidney histopathology in normal and STZ induced diabetic rats. (A) Normal control: Bowman capsule in average size (B) Diabetic control: Diabetic control group rat histopathology display inflammatory cells in blood vessels (Red arrow) and fat deposition (Yellow arrow). (C) PF I (100 mg/kg): PF treated group display inflammatory cell in blood vessels (Red arrow) and deposition of fat (Yellow arrow). (D) PF II (250 mg/kg): PF tested drug group histopathology few parts display the fat deposition (Yellow arrow) and inflamed cells in blood vessels (Red arrow). (E) PF III (500 mg/kg): PF treated drug display the normal histopathology few changes in the size of bowman capsules. (F) Glibenclamide (10 mg/kg): Glibenclamide treated group rat did not display any changes in the histopathology, only bigger size of bowman capsules. The samples were obtained from the same liver anatomical regions. For each group, 6 rats were examined and 80 pictures were taken. Original magnification, 40×.
