Groups | Body weight (grams) | |
(0 day) | (30th day) | |
I (Normal control) | 184.3 ± 3.77 | 201.4 ± 2.3 |
II (Normal + MC) | 183 ± 1.58 | 197.4 ± 3.64 |
III (Normal + TFG) | 188.6 ± 1.67 | 201.2 ± 2.77 |
IV (Diabetic control) | 184.2 ± 1.92 | 147 ± 2.91* |
V (Diabetic + MC) | 184 ± 1.58 | 198.2 ± 1.92* |
VI (Diabetic + TFG) | 189.6 ± 1.14 | 199.6 ± 2.4* |
Each values is a mean ± SD (n = 5 in each group). *Values are statistically significant at p < 0.001. Normal + MC treated (groups II), normal + TFG treated (group III) and diabetic control (group IV) were compared with normal control (group I). Diabetic + MC treated (group V) and diabetic + TFG treated (groups VI) were compared with diabetic control (group IV). The experiments were repeated thrice. MC, Momordica charantia; TFG, Trigonella foenum graecum.
