Figure 1

Morphological analysis in H9C2 cells by haematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining. Light-field micrographs (40x magnifications) showing an increase in cell size in high-glucose- (HG-) induced H9C2 cells, and S. cumini methanol seed extract (MSE) treatment prevented such increase as indicated by arrows. Gallic acid treatment also showed decreased cell size near the control. Quantitation of cell size was represented by histogram (). Scale bar: 20 μ.
