The data are mean±SD. There was a statistically significant difference between the diabetic rats and normal rats (groups D and DG versus N, p<0.01) from one week to the end of the experiment. The bodyweights of the rats in the normal group receiving Gly were not different from the normal group that did not receive Gly. N: normal rats; D: diabetic rats; DG: diabetic rats with Gly; and NG: normal rats with Gly.
