Cardiac Ameliorative Effect of Moringa oleifera Leaf Extract in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity in Rat Model

Figure 1

Representative micrographs from the heart exhibiting the protective effect of methanol M. oleifera leaf extract (MEML) on high-fat diet-induced cardiac injury in rats. (a) Control groups showing normal cardiac architecture. (b) High-fat diet-treated group showing anarchized myocardial fibers associated with interstitial edema and inflammatory cellule collections. (c) High-fat diet group received MEML (200 mg/kg) showing repair in the histological sections. (d) High-fat diet group treated with MEML (400 mg/kg) showing normal structure almost similar to control. Heart sections were stained using hematoxylin-eosin method. Magnifications: ×400.
