Effect of NCD-I/buffer and HFD-I/STZ treatment on serum glucose level in albino Wistar rats.

Treatment groups	Serum glucose (mg/dL)
	Induction period			Treatment period
	Day 0	Day 14	Day 21	Day 14	Day 28	Day 42
I NCD-I/buffer	107.16 ± 7.51	101.80 ± 8.01	101.35 ± 5.27	105.59 ± 10.79	103.91 ± 5.11	106.26 ± 9.62
II HFD-I/STZ	101.40 ± 5.49	104.00 ± 6.14	529.36 ± 34.10a	527.50 ± 29.68a	506.17 ± 38.24a	541.94 ± 38.58a

Values are expressed as mean ± SEM; n = 6–9.

^a P ≤ 0.05 versus NCD-I/buffer.

NCD: normal control diet, HFD: high fat diet, STZ: streptozotocin.
