Abstract
The present work aimed to investigate the effect of maternal diabetes on their offspring circumvallate tongue papilla, associated taste buds and the underlying von Ebner’s salivary gland and the possible beneficial effect of turmeric administration to diabetic mother.
The study was carried on 60 pups from diabetic mother rats that were classified in 2 main groups; group I; untreated diabetic mother rats and group II; diabetic mother rats treated with 30 mg/kg turmeric by oral gavage. The pups were sacrificed at three different ages. So the current study has 6 subgroups:
Subgroup IA: consisted of 10, three days aged pups from untreated diabetic mother rats.
Subgroup IIA: consisted of 10, three days aged pups from turmeric treated diabetic mother rats
Subgroup IB: consisted of 10, ten days aged pups from untreated diabetic mother rats.
Subgroup IIB: consisted of 10, ten days aged pups from turmeric treated diabetic mother rats.
Subgroup IC: consisted of 10, two months aged rats from untreated diabetic mother rats.
Subgroup IIC: consisted of 10, two months aged rats from turmeric treated diabetic mother rats.
