Figure 2

(a) Cardiac tissues of rats from the negative control group showing normal cardiac tissues. (b) Cardiac tissues of hypercholesterolemic rat from the positive control group showing congestion and marked degeneration of myocardial muscles with ballooning and degeneration. (c) Cardiac tissues of hypercholesterolemic rat from group (3) treated with parsley methanol extract, nearly restored their normal cardiac structure. (d) Cardiac tissues of hypercholesterolemic rat from group (4) treated with carob methanol extract, nearly restored their normal structure (H&E. ×200).
