(a) The pancreatic tissue of the negative control. (b) The pancreatic tissues of the STZ-induced diabetic rat (G2) display significant inflammation and infiltrated corroded large ducts. (c) The pancreatic tissues of the STZ-induced diabetic rat (G3) treated with vanillic acid display a mild inflammatory infiltrate around large ducts. (d) The pancreatic tissue of the diabetic rats treated with vanillic acid-coated AgNPs displays nearly normal appearance. Arrows show islet of Langerhans (H&E, ×400).
