Effects of HMS5552 on insulin immunoreactivity in the rat pancreas. Pancreas tissue sections stained with anti-insulin antibody are shown at 200x magnification (a), and the number of insulin-immunopositive cells in islets was analyzed (b). HMS-L group, low-dose (10 mg/kg) HMS5552-treated diabetic group; HMS-H group, high-dose (30 mg/kg) HMS5552-treated diabetic group. The data are expressed as the mean ± SD (). , compared with the control group; , compared with the diabetic group; , compared with the HMS-L group.
