Effects of FXT on body weight and blood glucose level in STZ rats. Diabetic rats received a single dose of 60 mg/kg STZ by i.p. Control rats received vehicle. After one week, STZ rats with blood glucose levels greater than 16.7 mmol/L were assigned into STZ group, FXT 0.525 g/kg group, and FXT 1.05 g/kg group. FXT-diabetic rats received FXT 0.525 g/kg or FXT 1.05 g/kg by ig once daily for consecutively 24 weeks. Fasting body weight (a) and fasting blood glucose level (b) were recorded every four weeks throughout the study. The values are means ± SD. *P < 0.05 versus control rats; # P < 0.05 versus STZ rats.
