Exendin-4 effects on islet volume and number in mouse pancreas

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate Exendin-4 (EX-4) effects on islet volume and number in the mouse pancreas. Thirty-two healthy adult male NMRI mice were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. EX-4 was injected intraperitoneally (i. p.) at doses of 0.25 (E1 group), 0.5 (E2 group), and 1 μg/kg (E3 group), twice a day for 7 consecutive days. One day after the final injection, the mice were sacrificed, and the pancreas from each animal dissected out, weighed, and fixed in 10% formalin for meas… Show more

“…Six H&E stained slides per animal were examined for assessment of histological changes such as number and diameter of islets, which were determined by using Motic images plus 2.0 image analysis software. Finally, a blind method was used for slide reading (Khorsandi, Nejad-Dehbashi, 2013). …”
