Temporal changes in glycemia (A); triacylglycerol (B); and total-cholesterol (C) plasma levels in STZ-diabetic rats treated for 50 days with yoghurt enriched with curcumin and carotenoids, individually or as mixtures. Values are expressed as means ± SEM, n = 10. Differences between groups were considered significant at p < 0.05 and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by a Student-Newman-Keuls test. Differences in the same group relative to day 0 were analyzed using a paired Student’s t test. #, different compared to day 0 (p < 0.05).
