Table 2. Effect of groundnut oil in diet on Hb and HbA1c in normal and diabetic animals.
Group | Hb (g/dL) | HbA1c (mg/g of Hb) |
Normal | 10.92 ± 0.37a | 0.39 ± 0.01b |
Normal + groundnut oil diet | 10.85 ± 0.49a | 0.34 ± 0.02a |
Diabetic control | 6.12 ± 0.15d | 1.10 ± 0.03e |
Diabetic + groundnut oil diet | 6.79 ± 0.49c | 0.99 ± 0.02d |
Diabetic + glibenclamide (600 µg/kg b-wt) | 9.73 ± 0.49b | 0.49 ± 0.03c |
Values are means + SD for six rats in each group. Values sharing a common superscript in a column are not significant with each other (p < 0.05, Duncan's Multiple Range Test [DMRT]).
