Levels of HbA1c in STZ-induced diabetic rats treated with Ipomoea batatas (Caiapo), Agaricus blazei (Agarics) or Smallanthus sonchifolius (Yacon) in the seventh week after treatments. HbA1c values were reduced with treatment with Caiapo. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 5). ^##p<0.01 vs normal control, **p<0.01 vs untreated diabetic control. NC; normal control, D + None; untreated diabetic control, D + Caiapo; Ipomoea batatas-treated diabetic group, D + Agarics; Agaricus blazei-treated diabetic group, D + Yacon; Smallanthus sonchifolius-treated diabetic group.
