The Effects of Folic Acid Administration on Cardiac Oxidative Stress and Cardiovascular Biomarkers in Diabetic Rats

Figure 9

Representative histological slides of rats’ hearts in the C1 (a), C2 (b), DM (c), FA (d), and DM+FA (e) groups at the middle heart cross section level (hematoxylin-eosin staining at magnification 200x). Left ventricular cardiomyocyte transversal diameters were significantly smaller in the DM, while the folic acid treatment of diabetic rats has reduced this decrease.
