	db/db	db/db-JCE	db/db-RG
HbA1c	12.92 ± 0.31^a	9.11 ± 1.06^b	7.45 ± 0.4^c
Plasma insulin (pmol/L)	251.04 ± 25.24^a	191.85 ± 4.65^b	139.06 ± 21.96^c
HOMA-IR	40.43 ± 4.03^a	22.26 ± 0.53^b	5.30 ± 0.84^c
QUICKI	0.22 ± 0.01^a	0.24 ± 0.01^b	0.29 ± 0.01^c

db/db (diabetes mellitus control), C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice supplemented with AIN-93G diet; db/db-RG, C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice fed AIN-93G diet supplemented with rosiglitazone (0.005 g/100 g diet); db/db-JCE, C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice fed AIN-93G diet supplemented with jicama extract (0.5 g/100 g diet). Values are presented as means ± SD, n = 7 per group. ^a–cMean values designated by different letters are significantly different between groups (p<0.05). HbA1c, blood glycosylated hemoglobin; HOMA-IR, homeostatic index of insulin resistance; QUICKI, quantitative insulin sensitivity check index.
