| Groups | Fasted blood glucose level (mg/dl) after diabetic induction (Mean ±SD) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Control | 86.00 ± 5.888 | 64.33 ± 5.132 | 51.40 ± 3.647 | 66.20 ± 7.190 |

Values are expressed in Means ± SD. Significant differences (control vs. DM, MT control and DM+MT groups are marked by different asterisks), (DM vs. MT control and DM+MT groups are marked by #) through one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post-hoc test: ns; non-significant, *P ≤ 0.05, *** ###P ≤ 0.001.
