A Novel Oxidovanadium (IV)-Orotate Complex as an Alternative Antidiabetic Agent: Synthesis, Characterization, and Biological Assessments

Figure 6

Histology of the liver. Liver tissue was collected from each animal after 30 days of treatment. The tissue was sectioned, stained using H & E, and imaged using standard light microscopy at 400 x magnifications. Double-sided arrows (↕) denote the central vein and single-sided arrows (↑) indicate hepatocytes. (a) Liver from healthy control animal (Group I), (b) Liver from STZ-treated diabetic animal (Group II), (c) Liver from animal treated with oxidovanadium(IV) sulfate alone (Group III), (d) Liver from animal treated with the oxidovanadium(IV)-orotate complex (Group IV).
