The Aqueous Extract of <i>Sclerocarya birrea</i>, <i>Nauclea latifolia</i>, and <i>Piper longum</i> Mixture Protects Striatal Neurons and Movement-Associated Functionalities in a Rat Model of Diabetes-Induced Locomotion Dysfunction

<div>Microphotographs of the H&amp;E-stained striatum on the caudal axis in diabetic rats ((a) ×40 and (b) ×250). Tail striatum outlines are indicated by black squares (×40). CST: caudal striatum; LV: lipid vacuolation (arrows); bundles of nigrostriatal tract (arrowhead); small neurons (stars); (A) normal control; (B) diabetic control; (C) Met 200; (D) SNP 150; (E) SNP 300. Met 200: diabetic animals receiving metformin at 200 mg/kg b.w.; SNP 150, 300: diabetic animals receiving the aqueous extract of the mixture at 150 and 300 mg/kg b.w.</div>
