Table 4. Effect of groundnut oil in diet on TBARS and HP in plasma of normal and diabetic animals.
Group | TBARS (mmol/dl) | HP (x 10-5 mmol/dl) |
Normal | 0.175 ± 0.038a | 9.81 ± 0.98b |
Normal + groundnut oil diet | 0.162 ± 0.030a | 8.32 ± 0.91a |
Diabetic control | 0.350 ± 0.038c | 24.15 ± 1.07e |
Diabetic + groundnut oil diet | 0.262 ± 0.041b | 22.48 ± 0.74d |
Diabetic + glibenclamide (600 µg/kg b-wt) | 0.187 ± 0.041a | 11.06 ± 0.59c |
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]).
