Zusammenfassung:The present study investigated the effects of Momordica (M.) charantia on physical changes and on histomorphometry of the aorta, pulmonary trunk and left ventricle in streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar rats. Physical changes and body weight were monitored throughout the experimental period. At the end of the experiment, stained sections were obtained for histomorphometry. Results showed a significant (p
