Figure 3.

Body weight, glucose level, insulin level, and C-peptide of both control and GDM group. Body weight of GDM-induced rat was decreased from Week 1 to Week 3 compared to control rat, where the body weight was increased significantly. Glucose level was higher in GDM group compared to control. Levels of insulin and C-peptide were higher in control compared to GDM group. Data shown as mean ± SD of four rats. For each parameter, a value with the asterisk signifies P < 0.05 and the absence of asterisk indicates otherwise. P value less than 0.01 was designated with two (∗∗) asterisks, P value less than 0.001 was designated with three (∗∗∗) asterisks, and P value less than 0.0001 was designated with four (∗∗∗∗) asterisks.
