Histopathological findings of the effects of Scrophularia striata ethanolic extract on pancreas tissues of studied groups. 28 days after the experiment, pancreas tissues samples were evaluated Harris-Eosin hematoxylin staining (A) Sham, (B) Control, (C) Experimental healthy (healthy + Scrophularia striata 400 mg/kg), (D) Pre-treatment (treated before and after STZ injection with S. striata 400 mg/kg), (E) Treatment (diabetic + S. striata 400 mg/kg). No histopathological changes were observed in pancreas tissues with sham (A) and experimental healthy (C) islets of Langerhans (arrows) and ascites is seen in a normal pattern. In the control group (B) degeneration in the cells of the islets of Langerhans (arrows), and atrophy and fibrosis in the structure of the pancreas is shown. In the pre-treatment group (D) normal condition of the ascites is shown. All these lesions were markedly attenuated in S. striata treatment (400 mg/kg) (E) (H&E *200).
