Table 4.

Changes in average body weights (g) of type 2 diabetic rats fed soup thickener flour‐supplemented diets

Rat group	Initial weight	Final weight	Weight gain/loss (%)
Normal control	200.88 ± 14.09	209.48 ± 14.12	4.28^a
Diabetic control	200.62 ± 16.56	194.1 ± 17.02	−3.25^d
DMT	197.12 ± 14.11	200.04 ± 14.25	1.48^c
D10%MIKF	204.04 ± 12.29	207.74 ± 12.35	1.81^b
D20%MIKF	202.88 ± 14.13	207.12 ± 13.86	2.09^b

Values represent mean ± standard deviation of replicate determinations (n = 5). Values with different superscript letters along the column differ significantly (P < 0.05).

DMT, diabetic rats treated with metformin; D10%MIKF, diabetic rats fed 10% M. indica kernel flour‐supplemented high fat diet (HFD); D20%MIKF, diabetic rats fed 20% M. indica kernel flour‐supplemented HFD.
