Amelioration of STZ-induced hyperglycemia by PCS extract. Mice were injected with vehicle (CON) or STZ (50 mg/kg/day) for 5 consecutive days. STZ-injected mice were treated with vehicle (−) or PCS extract (200 or 500 mg/kg/day) for 8 weeks beginning on the first day of STZ injection. (a) Body weight at 4 and 8 weeks after PCS extract treatment. *P < 0.05 versus (−)/STZ mice at 4 weeks. # P < 0.05 versus (−)/STZ mice at 8 weeks. (b) HbA1c levels. (c) Random blood glucose levels. (d) Fasting blood glucose levels after 8 weeks of PCS extract treatment. (e) Glucose tolerance test (GTT). Mice were fasted overnight and glucose (2 g/kg i.p.) was administered. Blood glucose levels were measured at the indicated times after glucose load. (f) Area under the curve (AUC) of the GTT graph. *P < 0.05 versus (−)/STZ mice.
