Histological analysis of pancreatic tissue stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Upper panel (a–c) and lower panel (d–f) show female and male pancreas histological structure, respectively. a A representative micrograph of the pancreas of control females rat showing normal structure, normal beta cells shape and distribution. b Pancreatic micrograph section of rats fed 50% GM food showing normal histology with some atrophied beta cells. c A micrograph of rats fed 100% GM showing atrophied beta cells, hemolysis in different areas of the pancreas and amyloid bodies (white arrows). d A representative micrograph of the pancreas of control male group rat showing normal structure. e A section in the pancreas of group fed 50% GM food showing normal histology and some atrophied beta cells (yellow arrow). f Pancreatic section of group fed 100% GM showing amyloidosis (yellow star), neutrophil infiltration (long white arrow), and non-malignant pancreatic fibrosis (yellow arrows). It seems like an acute pancreatitis, which is associated by hypokalemia as reported by biochemical tests. Scale bar is 200 μm
