Figure 3From: Streptozotocin-induced diabetes in the rat is associated with changes in vaginal hemodynamics, morphology and biochemical markersEffect of diabetes on overall vaginal tissue structure. Vaginal tissue sections (5 μm) from control (CN) and diabetic (DB) rats (see Figure 1) were subjected to a modified Masson's trichrome staining procedure. Shown are representative tissue sections from 3 separate animals for each treatment group. For each panel, the epithelium (Epi) and muscularis (Musc) layers are identified by the arrows.
