Activity of (A) SOD, (B) GPx, and (C) CAT in testis of STZ-induced diabetic rats fed different doses of Nano-PAC after 42 days.

Notes: Data are shown as mean±SD (n=6 rats/group). The bars with different letters (a–d) represent significant (P<0.05) difference as analyzed by the Duncan’s multiple range test.

Abbreviations: SOD, superoxide dismutase; GPx, glutathione peroxidase; CAT, catalase; STZ, streptozotocin; Nano-PAC, PAC encapsulated in silica–chitosan nanoparticles; Con, control; DM, diabetes mellitus; Nano-PAC1, diabetes+4 mg/kg per day Nano-PAC; Nano-PAC2, diabetes+8 mg/kg per day Nano-PAC; Nano-PAC5, diabetes+20 mg/kg per day Nano-PAC; Met, diabetes+300 mg/kg per day metformin; Nano-con, diabetes+20 mg/kg per day silica–chitosan nanoparticles; PAC, petri dish-cultured Antrodia cinnamomea.
