As shown in figure 2A, 2B and table 2, the
average size of islets of Langerhans of pancreas of
normal rats receiving HS-EE 1.0 g/kg was similar to
that of normal rats receiving distilled water. The
number of cells per 1 islet seemed to be increased in
normal rats receiving HS-EE but there was no statistical
difference as compared to normal rats receiving DW.
However the average number of islets (per 10 LPF) was significantly increased when compared to normal
rats receiving DW which may correspond to the
higher level of basal insulin in normal rat treated
with HS-EE.
