PAS stain of liver: (a) control group and (b) NSO- (2 mL/kg) treated control rats demonstrate abundant glycogen, which is present within the cytoplasm of the hepatocytes (magenta-colour granules), 400x. (c) Diabetic group demonstrates marked reduction in PAS positivity (few scattered glycogen granules), 400x. (d) NSO- (2 mL/kg) treated diabetic group demonstrates restoration of PAS positivity, 400x. Scale bar represents 50 μm.
