Morphometric analysis of the pancreatic islets of control, untreated diabetic, Aloe vera-treated diabetic rats and glibenclamide-treated diabetic rats. The data are represented as mean±SD. n=6 rats in each group. ^♠Statistically significant increase in mean area of islets (P<0.001), ^♣Volume of islets (P<0.001) and *diameter of islets (P=0.008) of Group III and Group IV when compared with untreated Group II rats, respectively. Group I: Control rats; Group II: Untreated diabetic rats; Group III: Aloe vera-treated diabetic rats; Group IV: Glibenclamide-treated diabetic rats; SD: Standard deviation
