From: Arabic gum ameliorates systemic modulation in Alloxan monohydrate-induced diabetic rats
Detection of insulin in the pancreatic tissues of Arabic gum-treated and Arabic gum/diabetic rats. (A,B) Positive insulin staining of most β-cells (yellow stars) after 7 and 21 days of treatment with Arabic gum. The α-cells (red stars) and acini of the exocrine pancreas (black arrow) were not stained. (C,D) Moderate immunostaining of β-cells with brown intracytoplasmic granules (yellow stars), whereas α-cells were not stained (red stars) in diabetic rats treated with Arabic gum (D + G group) for 7 days. (E,F) Most of the islet β-cells were positively stained in diabetic rats treated with Arabic gum for 21 days. Scale bars 40 µm in (A,C,E) and 20 µm in (B,D,F).
