Changes in fasting blood glucose (FBG) level (mg/dL) of rats during the dietary intervention
| Treatment group | Day 0 | Day 7 | Day 14 | Day 21 | % change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal control | 90.6 ± 5.22a | 91.8 ± 4.97a | 91.4 ± 5.46a | 91.6 ± 4.67a | +1.10 (Increase) |
| Diabetic control | 378 ± 7.84a | 383.6 ± 8.29a | 392.2 ± 7.40ab | 394.6 ± 7.73b | +4.39 (Increase) |
| DMT | 383 ± 20.29a | 203.2 ± 16.42b | 177.2 ± 9.09c | 146.8 ± 8.17d | −61.67 (Decrease) |
| D10%MIKF | 353.2 ± 18.45a | 234.6 ± 9.42b | 181.2 ± 6.22c | 141.2 ± 7.89d | −60.02 (Decrease) |
| D20%MIKF | 356.6 ± 15.52a | 223 ± 9.38b | 163.8 ± 5.93c | 125.00 ± 6.82d | −64.95 (Decrease) |
Values with different superscript(s) within the same row differ significantly (P < 0.05).
% change = (FBG at Day 21 − FBG at Day 0) × 100/FBG at Day 0.
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.
