Effect of FTZ on protection of pancreatic islets of the HFHSD diabetic rats. The level of pancreatic islets in HFHSD diabetic rats was assayed as described in the text. Rats were fed with HFHSD for 16 weeks and injected with 36 mg/kg STZ ip at the end of the 6th week. FTZ and rosiglitazone were administered for 8 weeks. The pancreatic islet cell levels of different rats were assayed with an HE staining microphotograph (400×).
