| Treatment group | Mg (mg/dL) | Zn (μg/dL) | Cu (μg/dL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal control | 1.99 ± 0.07a | 149.83 ± 5.53a | 70.17 ± 3.84e |
| Diabetic control | 1.25 ± 0.04d | 94.17 ± 2.86d | 128.93 ± 4.56a |
| DMT | 1.74 ± 0.05c | 130.68 ± 4.09c | 89.70 ± 3.49c |
| D10%MIKF | 1.72 ± 0.06c | 129.73 ± 4.78c | 98.60 ± 6.61b |
| D20%MIKF | 1.89 ± 0.05b | 142.36 ± 3.89b | 77.83 ± 5.89d |
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.
