From: Effect of vitamin D on aortic remodeling in streptozotocin-induced diabetes
A panel of micrographs of the aortic sections in the control group (a and b), untreated diabetic group (c and d), and diabetes + vitamin D group (e and f). Reduction of the thickness of the medial layer (c and d) and disorganisation of elastic lamellae (c) was observed in diabetic untreated rats, while in diabetes + vitamin D group the aortic wall morphology was more similar to the control group samples. Resorcin-fuchsin (a, c, e) and van Gieson (b, d, f). Original magnification × 360.
