Effect of combination of thiazolidinediones with melatonin on Non-insulin assisted and insulin assisted glucose uptake using isolated hemidiaphragm of mice in dexamethasone-induced insulin resistance.

NC–Normal control, DC –Dexamethasone control, PIO-Pioglitazone, ROSI-Rosiglitazone, MEL-Melatonin, PM-Pioglitazone plus melatonin, RM-Rosiglitazone plus melatonin. Results are expressed as Mean±SEM, (n=6). ANOVA followed by Dunnet test. ##P <0.05 when compared with normal control. *P <0.05, **P <0.05 when compared with dexamethasone control. ^aaP<0.05 when compared with pioglitazone treated group. ^bbP<0.05 when compared with rosiglitazone treated group. ^ccP<0.05 when compared with melatonin treated group.
