Histopathological changes in HF-HFr-STZ induced diabetic rat kidneys treated with C. anthelminticum fixed oil and its fractions. The figure shows a photomicrograph of (A) Normal control (NC) kidney showing normal architecture, (B) Diabetic control (DM-C) showing congestion of blood with signs of inflammation, and (C) Treatment control (DM Glic) reveals attenuation in inflammation as compared to DM-C; and (D, E, F, and G) are the photomicrograph of C. anthelminticum fixed oil and HF, CF, and EF-treated kidney, respectively. Degeneration and inflammation observed in DM-C have subsided upon treatment with C. anthelminticum seed oil and its fractions. Renal cell architecture is near normal
