(a) Normal acini and normal cellular population in the islets of Langerhans in pancreas of vehicle-treated rats. (b) Extensive damage to the islets of Langerhans and reduced dimensions of islets. (g) Restoration of normal cellular population size of islets with hyperplasia by glibenclamide. The partial restoration of normal cellular population and enlarged size of β-cells with hyperplasia are shown by hydroethanolic extract (250 mg/kg and 500 kg/kg—(c) and (d), resp.) and methanolic extracts (250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg—(e) and (f), resp.).
