Effects of liraglutide on body weight, blood glucose, serum insulin, HOMA-IR, and IL-6 in diabetic male rats. (a) Body weight, (b) fasting blood glucose, (c) blood glucose in OGTT, (d) AUC in OGTT, (e) serum insulin, (f) HOMA-IR, and (g) IL-6. Values are expressed as means ± SD. n = 6 in each group. **P < 0.01 versus normal control group; ##P < 0.01 versus diabetic group; $$P < 0.01 versus liraglutide 0.2 group.

OGTT: oral glucose tolerance test; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; IL_6: interleukin 6; AUC: area under the curve.
