Effects of geraniol on the levels of Hb and HbA1C in normal control and experimental rats.
| Parameters/Groups | Hb (g/dL) | HbA1c (%Hb) |
|---|---|---|
| Normal control | 15.32 ± 1.32a | 6.46 ± 0.45a |
| Normal + geraniol (200 mg/kg b.w.) | 15.00 ± 1.32a | 6.15 ± 0.44a |
| Diabetic control | 7.9 ± 0.55b | 15.42 ± 0.88b |
| Diabetic + geraniol (200 mg/kg b.w.) | 12.01 ± 0.88c | 11.22 ± 0.88c |
| Diabetic + glyclazide (5 mg/kg b.w.) | 12.95 ± 0.88c | 12.03 ± 0.88c |
Values are given as mean ± SD from six rats in each group.
Values not sharing a common superscript letter(a–c) differ significantly at p < 0.05 (DMRT).
