Islet cell death and replication represented by hematoxylin--eosin. The islet cells of diabetic mice of alloxan-treatment (A) showed extensive cell lysis, representing loss of plasma membrane with condensed nuclei and dissolved cytoplasm in wide intercellular spaces. In contrast, the islet cells of CSE(4.0)-fed mice (B) and Xiaoke Pill-treated (D) mice were partly recovered. The islet cells of CSE(2.0)-fed mice was C.
