Effects of different time on body weight, kidney weight, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels in rats.
| Parameter | Sham | Sham + MIR | Diabetic | Diabetes + MIR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Body weight (g) | 275.77±12.02 | 262.83±14.82 | 179.78±14.52a,b | 176.93±12.77a,b |
| Kidney weight (g) | 1.03±0.05 | 0.95±0.13 | 1.01±0.12 | 1.03±0.87 |
| Kidney/body | ||||
| weight ratio (×10−3) | 3.72±0.13 | 3.78±0.82 | 5.64±0.82a,b | 5.32±0.64a,b |
| Glucose (mg/dl) | 7.69±0.84 | 8.65±1.59 | 25.88±2.52a | 26.15±1.52a |
| HbA1c (%) | 4.67±0.72 | 4.66±0.26 | 13.68±2.98a | 12.74±1.58a |
Values are expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean (n=8 per group).
a
P<0.05 vs. sham group.
b
P<0.05 vs. sham + MIR group. Hb, hemoglobin; MIR, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion.
