An immunohistochemical staining of MMP-9 in the muscle demonstrates the anti-inflammatory effects of pumpkin and albendazole. a The negative reaction in the uninfected pumpkin-treated group (negative control in the small box); b Cytoplasmic reaction of MMP-9 positive cells in the infected untreated group were distributed between muscle fibers and around the encysted larvae; c non-significant reduction in the MMP-9 expression was observed around the encysted larvae and between muscle bands in the pumpkin-treated group and the albendazole-treated group (d)
