Table 2.
The number of islets/10 microscope field and diameter of pancreatic islets of diabetic and nondiabetic animals after 28 d of treatment with their respective regime.
| Treatment groups | Number of islets/10 microscope fields | Diameter of islets (μm) |
|---|---|---|
| NC | 3.88 ± 0.48a | 383.61 ± 35.53a |
| NT | 3.75 ± 0.85a | 343.12 ± 36.56a |
| DC | 1.00 ± 0.26b | 185.71 ± 6.53b |
| DGLIB | 1.40 ± 0.25b | 245.64 ± 29.80b |
| DT | 1.80 ± 0.45b | 312.53 ± 23.60a |
All data are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean and were analysed by Tukey post hoc test (n = 6). NC: normal control, NT: normal treatment, DC: diabetic control, DGLIB: diabetic glibenclamide, DT: diabetic treatment group. The superscript ‘a' indicates a significant difference when compared with the superscript ‘b' within the same column, while the superscript ‘b' indicates a significant difference when compared with the superscript ‘a' in the same column.
