Effects of CA on body and organ weights in type 2 diabetic rats.

	Body weight			Organ weight
Group	Initial body weight (g)	Final body weight (g)	Weight gain (%)	Liver weight	Liver/bw ratio (%)
NC	163.38 ± 5.53	281.88 ± 8.97	72.65 ± 6.49	12.66 ± 0.93	4.49 ± 0.26
DC	161.00 ± 12.73	241.00 ± 12.41	50.02 ± 6.82#	9.12 ± 1.10#	3.64 ± 0.38#
DCA	170.25 ± 20.00	275.25 ± 13.45	67.74 ± 9.78*	9.61 ± 0.96	3.72 ± 0.43
DME	151.40 ± 14.22	251.40 ± 21.93	66.40 ± 10.92*	9.14 ± 0.63	3.63 ± 0.29

NC: normal control; DC: diabetic control; DCA: diabetic rats treated with C. asiatica (L.) Urb. extracts; DME: diabetic rats treated with metformin, bw: body weight. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation; n = 6. Symbols # and *indicate value differs significantly (p < 0.05) from NC group and DC group, respectively.
