B) Histopathological section of the duodenum for one rat in the second group (positive control) showing thickening in each layers of duodenum and infiltration of infilammatory cells (Mononuclear cells) (Blue arrow) and hyper plastic proliferation of goblet cells (Black arrow) and glandular of sub mucosal (Green arrow) and thickening of muscular layer (Yellow arrow). C) Histopathological section of the duodenum for one rat in the third group (treated by Prosopis farcta L. fruits extract 300mg /kg.BW) Sub mucosa also showing infiltration of inflammatory cells (Blue arrow) with edema (Black arrow) and destruction of glands, muscularis showing thicking with slight infiltration of inflammatory cells and thickening of all layers.
