Fig. 1 — Effects of treatments with Ipomoea batatas (Caiapo), Agaricus blazei (Agarics) or Smallanthus sonchifolius (Yacon) on body weight in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were treated with daily oral feeding of powdered Ipomoea batatas (5 g/kg body weight/day), Agaricus blazei (1 g/kg body weight/day) or Smallanthus sonchifolius (4 g/kg body weight/day) for 2 months. Treatments with Caiapo or Agaricus significantly restored weight loss during diabetes, but Yacon had no effect on body weight loss. Normal control (filled diamond), untreated diabetic control (filled square), Ipomoea batatas (Caiapo)-treated diabetic (filled triangle), Agaricus blazei (Agarics)-treated diabetic (open circle), and Smallanthus sonchifolius (Yacon)-treated diabetic (open triangle) rats. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 5). *p<0.05 vs untreated diabetic control.
