Figure 4

Histopathological photomicrographs of the liver of diabetic obese rat treated with Malva neglecta extract at 40× magnification. Liver of (a) normal control rat. (b) Disease control rat displaying congestion of portal vein, and hemorrhage. (c) Metformin-treated animal exhibiting dilated portal vein. (d) MNME 250 mg/kg treated rats exhibited lobular structure and partial congestion. (e) MNME 500 mg/kg treated rats revealed partial congestion. (f) MNME 750 mg/kg showing normal lobular structure and dilated portal vein. Here, the star showed congestion, and the triangle showed necrosis.
