| Glucose (mg/dl) | Insulin (μU/mL) | |
|---|---|---|
| Control | 108.87 ± 3.22 | 11.51 ± 0.265 |
| Diabetic | 449 ± 20.86a | 7.79 ± 0.199a |
| DN | 526.37 ± 34.9a | 7.69 ± 0.319a |
| Diabetic + MSCs | 182.62 ± 16.2b | 10.28 ± 0.266b |
| DN + MSCs | 194.12 ± 14.52b | 9.6 ± 0.319b |
a
Significant change at p ≤ .05 in comparison with the control group.
b
