Testis (A) IL-6 and (B) TNF-α and (C) plasma IFN-γ production in 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 and b) represent significant (P<0.05) difference as analyzed by the Duncan’s multiple range test.
