Histological features generally characteristic of muscle degeneration linked with a variety of conditions are produced in quadriceps muscle from diabetic, hyperglycemic rabbits. Hematoxylin and eosin stained muscle sections from diabetic (A-F, H) and control (G, I) rabbits demonstrating central nuclei (A, H) and showing evidence of cell infiltration (A, C, F), not seen in normal control muscle. Muscle fiber cross-sections are ~40-50 μm in diameter. Images are representative of 3 diabetic and 3 control animals.
