Effect of Melastoma malabathricum plant extracts at different conc. on the heart in HCD mice. a Normal group: Histopathology of the normal group’s heart demonstrated no changes among the intercalated disk (red arrow) and interstitial space (green arrow). b Hyperlipidemic control: Intercalated disk was contused (red arrow), interstitial space was augmented (green arrow), and cellular deformation was induced due to infiltration of fat molecules (yellow arrow). c MFA-500 mg/kg: Intercalated disk was deteriorated (red arrow), as well as the interstitial space was ameliorated (green arrow) endorsed by amassing fat globules (yellow arrow). d MSE-250 mg/kg: Histopathology of this group’s exhibited enhanced interstitial space without any cellular contortion. A little bit presence of fats was discerned in this analysis (yellow arrow). e MSE-500 mg/kg: This dose showed a stunning histopathology result which was almost similar to normal heart structure, minimized interstitial space without any cellular contusion. f ATOVAT-20 mg/kg: Atorvastatin drug control group’s histopathology appeared no cellular deformation that was almost normal but manifested with trivial interstitial space.
