Severity of Hyperglycemia in Rats Maintained in Various Glycemic Controls

	Body Weight (g)	Glycemic Hemoglobin (%)
Normal	437 ± 51	6.3 ± 1.0
PC (12 mo of poor control)	337 ± 5*	11.8 ± 1.6*
Rev (6 mo PC → 6 mo GC)	310 ± 47* → 430 ± 88†	12.2 ± 1.0* → 6.0 ± 1.0†
GC (12 mo good control)	396 ± 13.8†	5.9 ± 0.47†
Rev+LA (6 mo PC → 6 mo GC + LA)	270 ± 27* → 388 ± 31†	11.1 ± 0.3* → 5.9 ± 0.5†
LA (12 mo poor control + LA)	308 ± 38*	12.3 ± 1.1*

The values are presented as mean ± SD of five or more rats in each group.

^*P < 0.05 compared with normal.
